- unidirectional transmission
Signals pass from presynaptic to postsynaptic neurone since: synaptic vesicles are only found in presynaptic neurone and receptors for neurotransmitter are only found in postsynaptic neurone.
- intterconnection between nerve pathways
One neurone may receive signal from many synapses from different presnaptic neurones. This allows a wide range of actions in response to a stimulus.
- memory and learning
Neurones involved are linked by new synapses.

What is the junction point between neurons?
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
What is the name of the region where two neurons are in done contact is known as?
synapse is that junction through which impulse can be transmitted from one neuron to another.
What is a synapse and how is information transmitted at the synapse?
A synapse is the gap between two neurones where messages can be sent.
Junction where one neuron meets another called?
Synapse
What location does a neuron transfer an impulse to another cell?
It depends on what the next structure is. If it is another neurone, then it is a synapse. If it is skeletal muscle, then the it is a neuromuscular junction. If it is any other type of muscle, then it is a myoneural junction.
What is the junction point between neurons?
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
What is the space between two adjacent nerve cells?
its known as the synapse. Through the synapse is where impulses travel from brain cell to brain cell.
What is the name of the region where two neurons are in done contact is known as?
synapse is that junction through which impulse can be transmitted from one neuron to another.
Space between nerve cells is called?
Are you meaning between the buttons of the first nerve cell and the dendrites of the second one? If so, then it is called the synapse or synaptic cleft!
Gap between nerve cells?
SynapseSynapse.The gap between the axon of one nerve cell and the dendrite of another nerve cell is called the synapse. Synapses are the space into which neurotransmitters are released from the axon to act on the dendrite, and thus transmit a signal between neurons.If the axon and the dendrite are from the same cell (i.e., the neuron is making a synapse with itself), this gap is called an autapse ("auto-synapse").Synapsea synapseA synapse or synaptic gap.Its a cool name.Neat huh?synapseSynapseSynapse
What is the plural of synapse?
The plural of synapse is synapses.
Neurons connect together at a?
Synapse Synapse
What is a synapse and how is information transmitted at the synapse?
A synapse is the gap between two neurones where messages can be sent.
What type of synapse uses neurotransmitter?
Chemical Synapse
What is sentence with the synapse?
A synapse is the gap between a neuron.
What is the connection between neurons called?
A synapse.
When was Usurp Synapse created?
Usurp Synapse was created in 1999.
