Synapses are the connections between nerve cells. They transmit information from one nerve cell to the next. However, all nerve cells receive and make many synapses, so what the nerve cell actually does with the incoming signals can be quite complicated.

What is an electrical synapse?
Chemical synapses are much slower to react to stimuli. However chemical synapses transmit a signal with constant strength or even a signal that get stronger. This is called "gain." Electrical synapses are faster but have no "gain," the signal gets weaker as it travels along the synapse to other neurons. Electrical synapses are only used for applications where a reflex must be extremely fast. They are simple and allow for synchronized action. A benefit of electrical synapses is they will transmit signals in both directions. Chemical synapses have many important advantages as well. They are more complex and vary their signal strengths. Their functions are influenced by chemical outputs in the nervous system. Chemical synapses are the most common type.
