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 ...

Researchers discovered that electrical synapses filter sensory signals in animals, enabling context-specific ...
