What is the gap between the dendrite of one neuron with that of the axon terminal of another neuron called?

A synapse/synaptic cleft is a tiny gap that separates the dendrite of one neuron from the axon terminal of another. This gap allows for chemical signaling between neurons, as neurotransmitters released from the axon terminal diffuse across the cleft and bind to receptors on the dendrite. This binding triggers a series of events that can lead to the generation of an electrical signal in the receiving neuron, transmitting information from one neuron to another.
