What is the Role of Synapses in Neuronal Networks?
Synapses are crucial for neuronal communication. They are the sites where neurotransmitters are released to transmit signals between neurons. Synapses can be excitatory or inhibitory, influencing whether the receiving neuron will generate an action potential. The density and distribution of synapses are vital for the functionality of neuronal networks, and their study is essential in histology to understand how information is processed.
