An abnormally thin dendritic spine can yield poor neural impulse conduction; and drugs like LSD which mimic neurotransmitters may "clog" receptors & cause continued activation, I think. I suspect there could also be problems with the PRODUCTION of neurotransmitters or with the conveyance of vesicles containing NT to the synapse.
Synapses are spaces or junctions between two neurons. The principle of synapse works on mechanism of neuro-transmitters and neuro-inhibitors.
When a nerve impulse reaches the end of one neuron to travel to the next one, at that moment acetylcholine is produced in the synapse. Acetyl choline being a neurotransmitter helps to transmit the nerve impulse.
Right after the nerve impulse has passed through the synapse, a neuroinhibitor such as cholinesterase si produced to stop the action of acetylcholine.
At a particular synapse, these two chemicals are produced at a very high rate. This is how a nerve impulse works. But suppose if the production of these two chemicals is affected, the synapse will not function properly.

What is the function of a synapse in the nervous system?
The function of a synapse in the nervous system is to transmit signals between neurons, allowing for communication and coordination of various bodily functions and behaviors.
What is the function of a synapse?

What is the relationship between the action potential and the synapse?
A synapse and an action potential have a flip-flopping cause and effect relationship, in that an action potential in a presynaptic neuron initiates a release of neurotransmitters across a synapse, which can then subsequently potentially trigger an action potential in the axon of the postsynaptic neuron, which would then cause release of neurotransmitters across a following synapse.
What is the junction point between neurons?
A synapse is the junction or a point of close contact between two neurons.
What is the function of the cell body of the nervous system?
the impulses are brought to the cell body from whre its carried by the axon to the synapse
What is the function of fasciculus gracilis?
The pathway carries epicritic function from the midthoracic trunk through the lower extremities (~ T7 and below) up to the medulla to synapse on the gracile nucleus.
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.
What is synaptic terminal?
Cells that help create and assist the function of synapse's. In layman's terms brain cells.
Function membrane receptor at chemical synapse?
Membrane receptors at a synapse are ligand-gated ion channels that open and allow sodium ions to flow into the neuron upon binding of the neurotransmitter ligand to generate an action potential in the neuron.
What is the plural of synapse?
The plural of synapse is synapses.
Neurons connect together at a?
