Title: Synaptic Cleft. This picture describes 3 components of a typical synapse. First, the presynaptic knob is located at the distal end of an axon from which neurotransmitters are released and then the synaptic cleft separates the presynaptic knob of the axon from the postsynaptic membrane of the dendrite. Finally, the postsynaptic membrane of the dendrite contains receptors with an affinity for the neurotransmitters. In this picture, all modelling and addition of texture, lighting, and visual effects were made in Cinema 4D software (Maxon Computer, Friedrichsdorf, Germany).
