Synapses form the circuits in which the neurons of the central nervous system interconnect. They are thus crucial to the biological computations that underlie perception and thought.

Synapses can be either chemical or electrical. An electrical synapse is what is often called a "gap junction," in which the membranes of two neurons are continuous at tiny spots, making the cells electrically contiguous.

Synapses
The junction between a nerve cell and another cell is called a synapse. Messages travel within the neuron as an electrical action potential. The space between two cells is known as the synaptic cleft.

synapse: the fluid-filled space separating the end of the axon from the dendrite of the next neuron or from a muscle cell.
synergism: a type of relationship in which two populations accomplish together what neither could accomplish on its own.

synapse - a highly specialized junction between two neurons, or between a neuron and an effector cell (e.g., muscle or gland cell), at which electrical and/or chemical signals are passed from one cell to another.

synapse The place at which a nerve impulse passes between neuron processes, typically from an axon of one nerve cell to a dendrite of another nerve cell.

synapse
the locus where one neuron communicates with another neuron in a neural pathway; a narrow gap between a synaptic terminal of an axon and a signal-receiving portion (dendrite or cell body) of another neuron or effector cell.

Ab42 (the 42-amino-acid form of Ab) induces membrane lipid peroxidation in synapses and dendrites resulting in impairment of membrane ion-motive ATPases and glucose and glutamate transporters.

During the prophase of meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair and form synapses. The paired chromosomes are called bivalents. The bivalent has two chromosomes and four chromatids, with one chromosome coming from each parent.

A genetic factor, probably a protein product, is required for high fidelity synapse formation.
Repetitive sequences are often involved in homolog pairing.
Interaction of proteins recognizing repeat sequence elements may contribute to pairing.
