Synapses in sentence

59 examples of Synapses in a sentence

So even if they have a disease like Alzheimer's compromising some of their synapses, they've got many extra backup connections, and this buffers them from noticing that anything is amiss.
Now imagine you have Alzheimer's, and three of those synapses are damaged or destroyed.
I figured out 100 billion clicks per day, 55 trillion links is almost the same as the number of synapses in your brain.
The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons, connected by at least a hundred trillion synapses.
There are hundreds, possibly thousands of different kinds of connections, or synapses.
Scanning at the resolution required to determine the details of individual synapses would requires a field strength high enough to cook a person’s tissues.
And these synapses together form the network or the circuit of the brain.
We can look at all 10 million synapses now.
It's like electrical shock that releases the chemicals from these synapses.
So, the way that we can look at that is to ignore the neurons, ignore the synapses, and look just at the raw electrical activity.
Some of these are even visible, such as higher density of the grey matter that contains most of your brain's neurons and synapses, and more activity in certain regions when engaging a second language.
And you can see that the green neuron touches the red neuron at two locations, and these are what are called synapses.
We color every neuron in, in a different color, and then we look through all of the images, find the synapses and note the colors of the two neurons involved in each synapse.
Now, at this point, you've learned the basics of neurons and synapses.
One neuron can be connected to so many other neurons, because there can be synapses at these points of contact.
Synapses can be created, and they can be eliminated.
And synapses can grow larger, and they can grow smaller.
Because, if the first neurons in the chain are activated, through their synapses they send messages to the second neurons, which are activated, and so on down the line, like a chain of falling dominoes.
shows and then write a synapses for my film class.
From then on, most brain scientists believed, brain circuits could only be modified by altering the synapses, or contacts between existing cells.
The detailed nature of the relation between cells, the modifiable synapses, was the software.
But in today’s globalized world, where national boundaries have morphed into synapses for myriad kinds of uncontrollable interactions, each country’s problems have become everyone’s problem.
By blocking glutamate from binding to the NMDA receptor, ketamine leads to an augmented glutamate release, which activates other types of glutamate receptors and enhances the function and density of synapses (the junctions between neurons) in areas of the brain where stress or depression has caused cells to atrophy.
Increased synaptic plasticity – the ability of synapses to adjust their strength, which is essential to healthy brain function – could be the neurobiological reason for the apparent therapeutic effect in patients.
In general, the exchange of information between the billions of neurons that make up the neuronal forest takes place through two types of highly specialized structures: chemical synapses (the majority) and so-called gap junctions (a substrate of one class of electrical synapse).
This space (the neuropil) represents 90-98% of the volume of the human cerebral cortex, with an estimated one billion synapses per cubic millimeter of neuropil.
Indeed, even for a small mammal like the mouse, it is impossible to reconstruct the brain completely at the ultrastructural level, because the magnification needed to visualize synapses yields relatively small images.
That means that we do not need to reconstruct the entire layer within a given area to determine the absolute number and types of synapses; instead, the range of variability can be determined by multiple sampling of relatively small regions within that area.
But, with technological development and the multiplication of economic and cultural synapses, it is not a chimera.
