To distinguish the kind of synapse and precisely how strong each synapse is, we'll need even better resolution.

了区分突触的种类以及每个突触的强度，我们将需要更好的分辨率。

The two neurons communicate at the synapse, where one neuron sends neurotransmitters to the next neuron.

如图这两个神经元在突触处进行信息传递，由一个神经元将神经递质传递给下一个神经元。

I think it was quitting smoking that slowed me down; nicotine is a great synapse enhancer.

我想大概是戒烟让我速度减慢了；古丁在加强神经突触活动方面功效很强。

One neuron can then pass that signal to the next at a synapse by way of chemical neurotransmitters.

此后，一个神经元可以把信号传递到下一个神经元的神经突触。传递通过化学神经递质实现。

To detect a synapse, we'll need to scan at a resolution of about a micron — a thousandth of a millimeter.

要检测突触，我们需要以大约微米的分辨率进行——分之一毫米。

Spinal motor neurons, which synapse on muscle cells, use acetylcholine as their neurotransmitter.

脊髓运动神经元利用乙酰胆碱作神经递质作用于肌肉细胞。

The neurotransmitters travel across the synapse and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, where they give the cell a message.

神经递质经过突触间隙与突触后神经元的受体结合，给突触后神经元提供信息。

Serotonin which contributes to feeling of well-being and happiness, works by moving from neuron to neuron in your brain through a gap called the synapse.

5 -羟色胺有助于产生幸福愉快的感觉，它通过一个叫做突触的间隙在大脑神经元之间传递。

So, the key factors that determine how quickly you think include how long it takes to generate an initial action potential; propagate it down the length of the axon; and transport it through the synapse.

所以，决定你思考速度的关键因素包括最初产生动作电位，以及将它一路下传到轴突，再通过突触来进行传输的时间。

The 2nd order neuron then sends off an axon that crosses over to the opposite side of the medulla, and travels up to the ventral posterior nucleus of the thalamus to synapse with a 3rd order neuron.

然后，第二级神经元发出轴突交叉至对侧延髓，到达丘脑腹后核与第三级神经元突触连接。

Where two neurons come together is called a synapse, and that’s where one end of an axon sends neurotransmitters to the dendrites or directly to the cell body of the next neuron in the series.

神经元间接触的位置叫作突触，即神经元向下一个神经元发送神经递质的位置，可能轴突到树突，也可能是直接由轴突到细胞体。
