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...

In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to...

at a chemical synapse. In many[specify] animals, electrical synapse-based systems co-exist with chemical synapses. Compared to chemical synapses, electrical...

from the presynaptic axon terminal into the synaptic cleft, as in a chemical synapse. The excitatory neurotransmitters, the most common of which is glutamate...

neighboring cells through electrical synapses or cause chemicals called neurotransmitters to be released at chemical synapses. A cell that receives a synaptic...

signal is the postsynaptic neuron or cell. Synapses can be either electrical or chemical. Electrical synapses are characterized by the formation of gap...

The squid giant synapse is a chemical synapse found in squid. It is the largest known chemical junction in nature. The squid giant synapse (Fig 1) was first...

synaptic components to the production of activity at the chemical synapse. Tripartite synapses occur at a number of locations in the central nervous system...

Dendrodendritic synapses are connections between the dendrites of two different neurons. This is in contrast to the more common axodendritic synapse (chemical synapse)...

rapid non-chemical-mediated transmission. Rectifying channels ensure that action potentials move only in one direction through an electrical synapse.[citation...
