What is the junction called between 2 communicating neurons?
The junction between two communicating neurons is called a synapse. At the synapse, electrical signals called action potentials are converted into chemical signals in the form of neurotransmitters, which then travel across the synaptic cleft to relay the signal to the next neuron.
What is the space between neurons called?
The space between neurons is called the synapse.
What do we call the connections between the nerve cells?
An axo-axonal synapse is what a connection specifically between one axon and another axon is called. The general term for a connection between neurons is SYNAPSE, and typically is between an axon and a dendrite.
What are relay neurons?
An interneuron (also called relay neuron, association neuron, connector neuron or local circuit neuron) is a neuron that forms a connection between other neurons. Interneurons are neither motor nor sensory.
What is the point called where two neurons meet?
The space between two neurons is a synapse.
The small spaces between neurons where neurotransmitters are released are called alveoli?
The SYNAPSE is the very small space between two neurons and is an important site where communication between neurons occurs.
The junction between two neurons?
The junction between two neurons is called a synapse. It is a specialized connection where electrical signals are transmitted from one neuron to another through chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. Synapses play a crucial role in communication within the nervous system.
What are the communicating sites between to neurons called?
synapses
Can undamaged neurons make new connection with damaged neurons?
yes
What does Long-term potentiation involve?
The strength of the connection between two neurons is increased when they are simultaneously stimulated.
Neurons that serve as links between the sensory neuron and the motor neurons?
interneurons also known as: ASSOCIATION NEURONS
What do you mean by neurons that fire together wire together?
This phrase from Donald Hebb's theory of synaptic plasticity suggests that when two neurons are activated at the same time, the connection between them strengthens. This concept implies that repeated co-activation of neurons strengthens their synaptic connection, leading to more efficient communication in the brain.
