Electrical synapses are more common in the central nervous system than previously thought.

The electrical synapses in our brains have not been noticeably affected.

The first electrical synapse was discovered in a crayfish nervous system.

The cells are also notable for their unusual use of both chemical and electrical synapses.

And they have discovered so-called electrical synapses, which need no neurotransmitters at all.

Long-term changes can be seen in electrical synapses.

Electrical synapses are found in all nervous systems, including the human brain, although they are a distinct minority.

The relative speed of electrical synapses also allows for many neurons to fire synchronously.

A gap junction located in neurons is often referred to as an electrical synapse.

The main advantage of an electrical synapse is the rapid transfer of signals from one cell to the next.

Rectifying channels ensure that action potentials move only in one direction through an electrical synapse.

Electrical synapses are often found in neural systems that require the fastest possible response, such as defensive reflexes.

Neurons communicate by chemical and electrical synapses in a process known as synaptic transmission.

"You got components from a couple dozen ships under the skin here, each with its own modifications to integrate the energy and electrical synapses.

Neurotransmission can also occur through electrical synapses.

Electrical synapses are abundant in the retina and cerebral cortex of vertebrates.

From there, the signal is sent across an electrical synapse to the LGI.

Except in the case of an electrical synapse through a gap junction, neurons do not touch each other, they have contact points called synapses.

Gap junctions were also proven to be electrically rectifying and referred to as an electrical synapse.

Also, electrical synapses are more common than previously thought, meaning that there are direct, cytoplasmic connections between neurons.

Electrical synapses are faster than chemical synapses.

In some cases electrical synapses can be found within the same terminal of a chemical synapse, as in Mauthner cells.

Electrical synapses are electrically conductive gap junctions between neurons.

Electrical synapses closed.

The main goal of electrical synapses is to synchronize electrical activity among populations of neurons.
