The synaptic gap, after transmission, is completed by the process of

The electrical signal cannot “jump” over that gap. Instead, at the point of synaptic junction between two neurons, the electrical signal is “translated” into a chemical message (the neurotransmitter) by the presynaptic neuron (at the presynaptic terminal) – Step 1 & 2.

That chemical diffuses (“swims”) across the synaptic cleft until it reaches the other neuron – Step 2 & 3.

The other neuron then “translates” the chemical signal back into an electrical one – Step 3 & 4.

The chemical message is degraded– Step 5.
