There are no disadvantages of synapses that I am aware of, but without synapses you would die.
This is wrong... there are many disadvantages of synapses... Drugs such as cocaine, speed, crystal meth and so on increase the production of noradrenalin (a neurotransmitter) causing increased alertness, heightened emotions, high blood pressure, irritability and later depression and insomnia...
to me this is a disadvantage...
there are some more... i got it from my year 9 science text book
The synapses take place in the spinal cord
The brain is estimated to have around 100 trillion synapses. These synapses are the connections between neurons that allow them to communicate with each other.
There are synapses between each and every neuron in the entire nervous system; so yes, there are synapses in the peripheral section of the nervous system.
Specialized junctions between neurons are called synapses. Synapses allow neurons to communicate with each other by transmitting signals in the form of neurotransmitters. There are two main types of synapses: electrical synapses, where ions flow directly between neurons, and chemical synapses, where neurotransmitters are released to relay the signal.
Yes, humans can form synapses. Synapses are junctions between neurons that allow for communication in the nervous system through the release and reception of neurotransmitters. The strength and efficiency of synapses can change based on experience and learning.
Selective blocking of inhibitory synapses can lead to muscle spasms because inhibitory synapses normally help balance the activity of excitatory synapses. When inhibitory synapses are blocked, there is an imbalance in neuronal activity, leading to increased excitation of motor neurons and muscles. This imbalance can result in uncontrolled and excessive muscle contractions, which manifest as muscle spasms.
Reactions don't leap across synapses but neurotransmitters will diffuse across the synaptic cleft.
All nerves have synapses, which are where the nerve junctions are located, so the nervous system involves synapses.
It floods the synapses with Acetycholine or ACh.

Synapses.
Neurotransmitters act on synapses.
