When the axon from one neuron touches the dendrite of another, they form small connections called synapses. Synapses are where

SYNAPSE—the point of contact between two neurons, where nerve impulses are transmitted from one to the other.

Neurons communicate with each other through electrical impulses and chemicals. These chemicals are called neurotransmitters. A typical neuron has thousands of connections, called synapses, with neighboring neurons.

A set of neurons which codes for an event or concept that we wish to memorize is activated in our brain. How is this memory saved? In the beginning is the synapse, the microscopic point of contact between two neurons. Its strength is increased when the neurons it links are jointly activated in short succession—this is Hebb’s famous rule: neurons

La neurona es una célula del sistema nervioso responsable de transmitir información en forma de señales bioquímicas y eléctricas. Esa comunicación por medio de neurotransmisores es clave en el comportamiento, en el estado de ánimo, en el aprendizaje, en la atención e incluso en las relaciones humanas. Al recibir el estímulo externo, produce una

Quand le neurone s’active, une décharge passe du soma au bout de l’axone où elle déclenche la libération de substances chimiques qu’on appelle les transmetteurs. Les neurotransmetteurs traversent la barrière de contact de Freud, qu’on appelle la synapse, et s’attachent à la dendrite d’un neurone voisin, déclenchant dans cette cellule une nouvelle

Ideas cause ideas and help evolve new ideas. They interact with each other and with other mental forces in the same brain, in neighboring brains, and thanks to global communication, in far distant, foreign brains.
