Bookmark or Share- What Happens at The Synapse? - Simply PsychologyIn neuroscience, a synapse refers to the junction between two neurons, where information is transmitted from one neuron to another. It consists of the axon terminal of the sending (pre-synaptic) neuron, the synaptic cleft (a small gap), and the dendrite or cell body of the receiving (post-synaptic) neuron. Neurotransmitters are released across ...
- Synapse | Anatomy, Function & Types | Britannicasynapse, the site of transmission of electric nerve impulses between two nerve cells (neurons) or between a neuron and a gland or muscle cell (effector). A synaptic connection between a neuron and a muscle cell is called a neuromuscular junction.
- The synapse (article) | Human biology | Khan AcademyNeurons communicate with one another at junctions called synapses. At a synapse, one neuron sends a message to a target neuron—another cell. Most synapses are chemical; these synapses communicate using chemical messengers. Other synapses are electrical; in these synapses, ions flow directly between cells.
- Synapse - WikipediaIn the nervous system, a synapse [1] is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target effector cell.
- Sending Information: Synapses and Neurotransmission - BrainFactsIn most circuits, a synapse includes the end of an axon, the dendrite of an adjacent neuron, and a space between the two called the synaptic cleft. Amazingly, this separation between neurons was only verified (by electron microscopy) in the 1950s.
