Excitatory synapses are located in confined chemical spaces called the dendritic ... Each time a terminal receives an electrical impulse from the cell soma, within one to a few milliseconds ...

Neuron Function Synapses Neural synapses are junctions between neurons that permit neural communication. Synapses come in two different forms: chemical and electrical. 2 Chemical synapses communicate ...

For the new study, the researchers investigated a specific type of connection between neuronal cells, called electrical synapses, which differs from the more widely studied chemical synapses.

Our memories and thoughts stem from complex patterns of electrical and chemical activity in the brain. Central to this activity are synapses, the junctions where branches of neurons connect ...
