The junction between two neurons where information is transmitted from one cell to another via chemical or electrical signals.
From Greek 'synapsis' meaning 'conjunction,' from 'syn-' (together) + 'haptein' (to fasten). Coined by Charles Sherrington in 1897.
A synapse is the tiny gap between neurons where messages jump from one cell to the next — it's where all learning and memory actually happens!
