Synaptic cleft.
One nerve fibre is attached to another nerve fibre via a junction called synapse. It is not a tight junction. A synapse is formed by the membrane of a presynaptic neuron and postsynaptic neuron, which may or may not is separated by a gap called synaptic cleft, i.e., axon of one neuron end on the dendrite of next neuron
