Explanation:

1. Recall the structures involved in synaptic transmission: Synaptic transmission involves the terminal button (releases neurotransmitters), synaptic gap (space between neurons where neurotransmitters travel), and dendrite (receives neurotransmitters).
2. Analyze the reticular formation: The reticular formation is a network in the brainstem involved in arousal, not a structure directly involved in the synaptic transmission between individual neurons.

Answer:

B. reticular formation
