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

为了区分突触的种类以及每个突触的度，我们将需要更好的分辨率。

If you're thinking cerebrum. Oh, synapse, I think neuron to something.

如果你在想大脑、突触，我想是神经元。

I'm talking about the synapse — the meeting point between two neurons.

我说的是突触——两个神经元之间的交汇点。

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；尼古丁在加神经突触活动方面功效很。

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。

This drug works at the junction — or synapse — between the hair cells and nerve cells.

这种药物作用于毛细胞和神经细胞之间的连接处或突触。

First, they had to deliver a controlled flow of glutamate to the particular synapse they wanted to test.

The serotonin molecules diffuse across the synapse and bind to their receptors on the neighboring neuron, transmitting the signal.

5-羟色胺分子通过突触扩散，并与邻近神经元上的受体结合，传递信号。

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。

Others are broken down by enzymes in the synaptic cleft, or sent away from the synapse by diffusion.

其他的被突触裂隙中的酶分解，或者通过扩散被送出突触。

You have that single neural connection, that one synapse.

你有那个单一的神经连接，那个突触。

Every synapse in entire human brain, for everyone on earth.

整个人类大脑中的每个突触， 适用于地球上的每个人。

The synapse is where neurotransmitters are released.

突触是释放神经递质的地方。

At the synapse, that signal can be modified, amplified, inhibited, or split, either immediately or over longer periods of time.

在突触处，该信号可以立即或在更长的时间内被修改、放大、抑制或分裂。

The point of connection, this space circled in red, is called the synapse.

连接点， 这个用红色圈起来的空间，被称为突触。

The word " synapse" comes from the Greek for " to clasp or join." It's basically a junction or a crossroads.

“突触”这个词来自希腊语，意思是“扣合或连接”。它基本上是一个交叉点或十字路口。

Some kinds diffuse back across the synapse and are immediately re-absorbed by the sending neuron, in a process called reuptake.

有些种类在突触中扩散回来，并立即被发送神经元重新吸收，这一过程称为再摄取。

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扫描——千分之一毫米。

And the synapse is where Alzheimer's happens.

突触是阿尔茨海默氏症发生的地方。

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。
