Learn about synapses, the connections between neurons in the nervous system, and how they transmit signals efficiently on Khan Academy.

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 cleft so …

Oups. Il y a eu un problème. S'il vous plaît, veuillez reessayer. Oups, on dirait qu'il y a eu une erreur ! Vous devez actualiser. Si le problème persiste, dites-nous.

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 synaptic cleft, …

La plupart de vos synapses sont des synapses chimiques, ce qui signifie que l'information est transportée par des messagers chimiques, d'un neurone à l'autre. Dans l'article sur les synapses, on …
