A single axon can have multiple branches, allowing it to make synapses on various postsynaptic cells. Similarly, a single neuron can receive thousands of synaptic inputs from many different …

This video discusses synapses, where neurons communicate with target cells. It differentiates between two types of synapses: chemical and electrical. It also explains the role of the …

Comment les neurones communiquent entre eux au niveau des synapses. Synapses chimiques versus électriques.

There actually are certain neurons where there isn't any gap--electrical synapses connect directly because electrical signals cannot travel through a gap. Chemical synapses need the synaptic …

La plupart des synapses sont dites chimiques, car les neurones communiquent à l'aide de messagers chimiques. Il existe des synapses électriques, où les ions circulent directement …

Synapses between neurons are either excitatory or inhibitory – and that all comes down to the neurotransmitter released. Excitatory neurotransmitters cause the signal to propagate - more …

alors on commence à être familier avec le neurone et la nature des signaux qui circulent en effet on a vu qu au niveau des dendrite le neurone pouvait recevoir différents stimuli excitateur par …

In the article on synapses, we discussed how synaptic transmission works. Here, we’ll focus on neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers released from neurons at synapses so that they …
