Chemical synapses are biological junctions through which neurons' signals can be sent to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. Chemical synapses allow neurons to ...

Synapses come in two different forms: chemical and electrical. 2 Chemical synapses communicate by releasing neurotransmitters—signaling molecules that are stored and released from neurons via synaptic ...

Synapses are subcellular microcompartments that are essential for a digital form of transneuronal communication, mediated by chemical mediators termed neurotransmitters. At excitatory synapses in ...

New research uncovers how forever chemicals disrupt brain health, highlighting genetic impacts and raising concerns about ...
