Select the incorrect statement regarding synapses:
1. Impulse Transmission across a chemical synapse is always faster than that across an electrical synapse.
2. The membranes of presynaptic and postsynaptic neurons are in close proximity in an electrical synapse.
3. Electrical current can flow directly from one neuron into the other across the electrical synapse.
4. Chemical synapses use neurotransmitters.
