Relating to synapses, the junctions between nerve cells where communication occurs. Pertaining to neural transmission and brain function.
From Greek synapsis 'connection, junction', from syn- 'together' + haptein 'to fasten'. The term was coined in 1897 by neurophysiologist Charles Sherrington.
Your brain has roughly 100 trillion synaptic connections - more than the number of stars in the observable universe. Each neuron can connect to thousands of others, creating an incredibly complex network.
