A narrow 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.

A junction between two neurons. The point where a synaptic button from the transmitting (or 'pre-synaptic) neuron touches the neural membrane of the receiving (or 'post-synaptic') neuron. Each neuron receives synaptic input from many other neurons. [See also synapse, locations and synapse, mechanism

<physiology> A connection between excitable cells, by which an excitation is conveyed from one to the other. ... 1. Chemical synapse: one in which an action potential causes the exocytosis of neurotransmitter from the presynaptic cell, which diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to ligand gated ion channels on the post synaptic cell.

(sin´aps) the junction between the processes of two neurons or between a neuron and an effector organ, where neural impulses are transmitted by chemical means. The impulse causes the release of a neurotransmitter (such as acetylcholine or norepinephrine) from the presynaptic membrane of the axon terminal. The neurotransmitter...

A connection between excitable cells, by which an excitation is conveyed from one to the other. (1) Chemical synapse: one in which an action potential causes the exocytosis of neurotransmitter from the presynaptic cell, which diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to ligand-gated ion channels on the postsynaptic cell. These ion channels then affect the resting potential of the postsynaptic cell. (2) Electrical synapse: one in which electrical connection is made directly through the cytoplasm, via gap junctions. (3) Rectifying synapse: one in which action potentials can only pass across the synapse in one direction (all chemical and some electrical synapses). (4) Excitatory synapse: one in which the firing of the presynaptic cell increases the probability of firing of the postsynaptic cell. (5) Inhibitory synapse: one in which the firing of the presynaptic cell reduces the probability of firing of the postsynaptic cell.

Synapse: The point of connection usually between two nerve cells. Specifically, a synapse is a specialized junction at which a nerve cell (a neuron) communicates with a target cell. The neuron releases a chemical transmitter (a neurotransmitter) that diffuses across a small gap and activates specific specialized sites called receptors situated on t...
