synaptic cleft — Definition

sinaptik aralık / synaptic cleft
Sinaptic range is about 20-30 nanometer wide space, located in the synaps region between two neurons, pressinaptic and postinaptic cell membranes. This range provides signal transmission through release and diffusion of neurotransmitter substances. Clinically, disorders in the synaptic range (e.g. blocking the acetylcholine release with the effect of botulinum toxin) can lead to neuromuscular diseases such as muscle felci.
