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

Where does synapses take place?
The synapses take place in the spinal cord
Are there synapses in peripheral nervous system?
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.
What are the reaction that having a great time leaping across synapses?
There are no reactions, the end of a nerve produces a gas that goes across the synapses and creates the electrical impulse on the other side of the synapses and continues the message!
What has the author U Sandbank written?
U. Sandbank has written: 'The development of synapses' -- subject(s): Nervous system, Synapses
Which system involves a synapse?
All nerves have synapses, which are where the nerve junctions are located, so the nervous system involves synapses.
The venom of the black widow spider causes violent muscle contractions by flooding synapses with?
It floods the synapses with Acetycholine or ACh.
What reactions leap across synapses?
Reactions don't leap across synapses but neurotransmitters will diffuse across the synaptic cleft.
Where are electrical synapses found?
Synapse is located, where two neurons meet each other. One cubic cm of brain cortex have about one billion synapses, probably.
What make us think?
Synapses.
What OPEN do?
Neurotransmitters act on synapses.
Why do you have synapses?
I do not know nor do i want to
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.
