Final Answer :

Explanation :
At a synapse, a chemical neurotransmitter is released by the presynaptic neuron that interacts with receptors on the postsynaptic neuron. This chemical interaction can either excite or inhibit the postsynaptic neuron, thus affecting the transmission of information between neurons.
