Synapse - CISMeF

Preferred Label : Synapse;

NCIt definition : A cell-cell junction between a neuron and another neuron or a cell in a target organ. At this interface, the presynaptic neuron can transmit chemical (neurotransmitter) or electical signals (nerve impulses) to the postsynaptic target.;

Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: The space between the end of a nerve cell and another cell. Nerve impulses are usually carried to the neighboring cell by chemicals called neurotransmitters, which are released by the nerve cell and are taken up by another cell on the other side of the synapse. The neighboring cell may be another nerve cell, a muscle cell, or a gland cell.;
