What Is Synapse And Its Connection To Children ?
hello, i am a degree level illustration student studying the science of memory. i am stuck on how to explain the synapse. I have looked at the basic structure of the neuron but dont understand how they communicate with each other to process memories. I am aiming this at children aged 11-16 so the simpilar the answer the better. in the simplist form is it just the electrical jump between dendrites and the axon? any other help surrounding this area would be great! thank you, Leila
