Full article >>>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.
Full article >>>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.

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.

synergism: a type of relationship in which two
populations accomplish together what neither could accomplish on its own.

Full article >>>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
