Synapses Scholarly Peer-review Journal

 Synapses connect neurons in the brain to neurons in the rest of the body and from those neurons to the muscles synaptic Neuroscience publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research that advances our understanding of synaptic structure, function, plasticity and alterations in diseases. Synapses are part of the circuit that connects sensory organs, like those that detect pain or touch, in the peripheral nervous system to the brain. Synapses are essential to neuronal function: neurons are cells that are specialized to pass signals to individual target cells, and synapses are the means by which they do so. Synapses can be classified by the type of cellular structures serving as the pre- and post-synaptic components. The vast majority of synapses in the mammalian nervous system are classical axon-dendritic synapses at a synapse, are stabilized in position by synaptic adhesion molecules the plasma membrane of the signal-passing neuron membrane of the target cell. Both the presynaptic and postsynaptic sites contain extensive arrays of molecular machinery that link the two membranes together and carry out the signalling process.
