Synaptic Cleft Diffusion

Synaptic Cleft Diffusion is a biophysical process in which neurotransmitter molecules passively spread across the synaptic cleft via random molecular motion, distinguishing it from active or facilitated neurotransmitter transport mechanisms by its reliance solely on concentration gradients and extracellular fluid dynamics.
