synapse — A connection between excitable cells, by which an excitation is conveyed from one to the other. (1) Chemical synapse: one in which an action potential causes the exocytosis of neurotransmitter from the presynaptic cell, which diffuses across the… … Dictionary of molecular biology
Electrical synapse — An electrical synapse is a mechanical and electrically conductive link between two abutting neuron cells that is formed at a narrow gap between the pre and postsynaptic cells known as a gap junction. At gap junctions, such cells approach within… … Wikipedia
electrical synapse — A connection between two electrically excitable cells, such as neurons or muscle cells, via arrays of gap junctions. This allows electrical coupling of the cells, and so an action potential in one cell moves directly into the other, without the 1 … Dictionary of molecular biology
