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 ...

This colored scanning electron micrograph shows the synapses, or connections, between two nerve fibers (in purple ... Some people believe we are something beyond neurons, but of course we are ...

In the human brain, there are more than 100 trillion synapses between neurons. Chemical messengers ... to a synapse sending transmissions at two strengths, while two bits allows for four strengths ...

In a dish, Martin cultured a single sensory neuron with a bifurcated axon that formed synapses with two separate motor neurons ... or the lack thereof, between neurons prompt signaling cascades that ...

New structural markers of memory storage uncovered by Scripps Research may pave the way for new treatments for memory loss.
