Did you know that the human brain contain approximately 100 billion microscopic cells called neurons? - about the same as the number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Synapses are essential to neuronal function. If #neurons are #cells that are specialized to pass signals to individual target cells, the #synapses are the means by which they do so. When a nerve signal reaches the end of the neuron, it cannot simply continue to the next cell. Instead, it must trigger the release of neurotransmitters which can then carry the impulse across the synapse to the next neuron. Once a nerve impulse has triggered the release of #neurotransmitters, these chemical messengers cross the tiny synaptic gap and are taken up by #receptors on the surface of the next cell. .
