Please clarify! In fact, there is no actual "connective tissue" per se. Perhaps synapse is the straight answer to your question? Neurons are separated in the brain by very, very tiny gaps.
Information, if you will, is transmitted between the neurons and the nerves they respond to, by means of tiny electrical signals generated in each synapse, then released into the tiny space between neurons. The signals are created in the brain, for this purpose, of what are called neurotransmitters.
Neurotransmitter ---> "--noun
any of several chemical substances, as epinephrine or acetylcholine, that transmit nerve impulses across a synapse to a postsynaptic element, as another nerve, muscle, or gland."
Hope this leads you to further your curiosity and to investigate deeper.

Examples of tissue?
Examples of tissues include epithelial tissue (skin), connective tissue (bone), muscle tissue (skeletal muscle), and nervous tissue (neurons). Each type of tissue has specialized cells that work together to perform specific functions in the body.
The least specialized connective tissue in the adult body is?
The least specialized connective tissue in the adult body is loose connective tissue, also known as areolar connective tissue. It has a loose arrangement of collagen and elastic fibers with various cell types scattered throughout, providing support and flexibility to surrounding structures.
What are the 3 major groups of connective tissue?
Epithelial, muscle, and nervous. Disagree- the 3 subgroups are: loose, dense, and connective tissue with special properties. Subgroups within dense are: dense irregular, in which the extracellular fibers are interwoven in disordered fashion, and dense irregular, in which the extracellular fibers are in parallel bundles. Subgroups in the special properties connective tissue are named to indicate the identifying feature, such as mucous connective tissue, elastic connective tissue or reticular connective tissue.
What tissue types are found in the brain?
The brain primarily consists of nervous tissue, which includes neurons and glial cells. Additionally, the brain contains some connective tissue that supports and protects the nervous tissue, as well as blood vessels that supply nutrients and oxygen to the brain cells.
What is the connective tissue that connects muscle to muscle called?
The connective tissue that connects muscle to muscle is called fascia.
Are neurons and neuroglia found in connective tissue?
No, there are four types of tissue; muscular, epithelial, connective and nervous tissue. Neurons are categorised in the nervous tissue.
Are all type of connective tissue vascular?
Yes. Blood is a connective tissue, part of the specialized liquid connective tissue.
What is a tissue that connects tissue called?
Connective tissue binds and supports other tissue. Connective tissue are specialized even further to support cartilage, bone, fat, and even blood cells.
Is connective tissue part of the nervous system?
Connective tissue is not considered part of the nervous system. The nervous system is composed of specialized cells called neurons, which transmit electrical signals. Connective tissue provides support and structure to the body, including organs and nerves, but it is not directly involved in transmitting nerve impulses.

Nervous tissue is made up of specialized units called?
Nervous tissue is made up of specialized units called nerve cells, or neurons. They detect different types of stimuli in the body.
Nervous tissue contains specialized cells called?
Neurons are the conducting cells of nerve tissue. The neurons transmit the electrical charges and chemical signals via the synapses.

What is a bundle of neurons held together by several layers of connective tissue?
A bundle of neurons held together by several layers of connective tissue is called a nerve. Nerves transmit signals between the brain, spinal cord, and various parts of the body, allowing for communication and coordination of bodily functions.
A specialized connective tissue covering all the bones of the body is?
The specialized connective tissue covering all the bones of the body is called periosteum. It helps in bone growth, repair, and provides nourishment to the bones. Additionally, it contains cells involved in bone formation and regeneration.
