Structural and functional organization of the synapse /

The synapse is a fundamental subcellular structure in the brain connecting neurons with each other. It transmits information from one neuron to another and is also involved in data processing and storage. The synapse is the site where neurons communicate with each other. A synapse is a small gap tha...
