synapses, plural;
  1. A junction between two nerve cells, consisting of a minute gap across which impulses pass by diffusion of a neurotransmitter

  1. the junction between two neurons (axon-to-dendrite) or between a neuron and a muscle; "nerve impulses cross a synapse through the action of neurotransmitters"
  2. (synaptic) (neuroscience) of or involving synapses
  3. In the nervous system, a synapse is a junction that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell. The word "synapse" comes from "synaptein", which Sir Charles Scott Sherrington and colleagues coined from the Greek "syn-" ("together") and "haptein" ("to clasp").
  4. In the fictional universe of City of Heroes, the Freedom Phalanx, led by The Statesman, protects Paragon City from Arachnos, led by Lord Recluse.
  5. Synapse is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of neuroscience published in New York by Wiley-Liss to address basic science topics on synaptic function and structure.
  6. Chemical synapses are specialized junctions through which neurons signal to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. Chemical synapses allow neurons to form circuits within the central nervous system. ...
  7. (Synaptic (software)) Synaptic is a computer program which is a GTK+ graphical user interface front-end to the Advanced Packaging Tool for the Debian package management system. Synaptic is usually used on systems based on deb packages but can also be used on systems based on RPM packages. ...
  8. (Synapses) the gap between two neurons, over which impulses lead to learning.
  9. (synapses) connections between neurons (brain cells) through which nerve impulses travel. In early life, synapses survive and grow stronger based on stimulation-one reason that early childhood experiences and interaction are so important.
  10. (Synaptic) Relating to the association of homologous chromosomes with chiasma formation that is characteristic of the first meiotic prophase and is held to be the mechanism for genetic crossing-over
  11. The junction between an axon and an adjacent neuron. PICTURE
  12. a tiny gap between the ends of nerve fibers across which nerve impulses pass from one neuron to another; at the synapse, an impulse causes the release of a neurotransmitter, which diffuses across the gap and triggers an electrical impulse in the next neuron.
  13. The site where neurons communicate with each other. A synapse is a small gap that physically separates neurons. Axon terminals of a neuron sending a message (the presynaptic neuron) release neurotransmitters into the synapse. ...
  14. The site where presynaptic and postsynaptic cells communicate with each other.
  15. the microscopic gap between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another
  16. The connection between the end of a nerve and the adjacent structure, such as a muscle cell or another nerve ending. Various transmitter chemicals liberated into the synapse make nerve transmissions possible.
  17. The site at which neurons make functional contact.
  18. a small physical gap between two neurons, which is connected by the flow of neurotransmitter chemicals
  19. the minute spacing separating one neuron from another; neurochemicals breach this gap.
  20. The area between nerve cells or neurons that transmits nerve impulses.
  21. A junction between neurons where the presynaptic process of an axon is apposed to the postsynaptic process of a dendrite or cell body.
  22. The name for the gap formed by the dendrites of two neurons connecting.
  23. the place at which a nerve impulse passes from one neuron to another.
  24. is the connection between two neurons in relay toward brain.
  25. The contact point where a neuron transfers information to a target cell.
