- The junction between two neurons (axon-to-dendrite) or between a neuron and a muscle; "nerve impulses cross a synapse through the action of neurotransmitters"
- (synaptic) (neuroscience) of or involving synapses
- In the nervous system, a synapse is a junction that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell. The word "synapse" comes from "synaptein", which Sir Charles Scott Sherrington and colleagues coined from the Greek "syn-" ("together") and "haptein" ("to clasp").
- In the fictional universe of City of Heroes, the Freedom Phalanx, led by The Statesman, protects Paragon City from Arachnos, led by Lord Recluse.
- Synapse is a peer-reviewed scientific journal of neuroscience published in New York by Wiley-Liss to address basic science topics on synaptic function and structure.
- Chemical synapses are specialized junctions through which neurons signal to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. Chemical synapses allow neurons to form circuits within the central nervous system. ...
- (Synaptic (software)) Synaptic is a computer program which is a GTK+ graphical user interface front-end to the Advanced Packaging Tool for the Debian package management system. Synaptic is usually used on systems based on deb packages but can also be used on systems based on RPM packages. ...
- (Synapses) the gap between two neurons, over which impulses lead to learning.
- (synapses) connections between neurons (brain cells) through which nerve impulses travel. In early life, synapses survive and grow stronger based on stimulation-one reason that early childhood experiences and interaction are so important.
