The junction between two nerve cells is called a "synapse." A synapse is a specialized structure that allows nerve cells, also known as neurons, to communicate with each other. It is the point where electrical signals, known as action potentials, are converted into chemical signals in the form of neurotransmitter molecules, which then transmit the signal from one neuron to another. This transmission is essential for the functioning of the nervous system and the transmission of information throughout the body.
