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

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 ...
