A synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows a signal to pass from one neuron to the next. Neurons are cells that transmit information between your brain and other parts of the central nervous system. Synapses are found where neurons connect with other neurons.
Synapses are key to the brain's function, especially when it comes to memory.Synapses connect neurons and help transmit information from one neuron to the next. When a nerve signal reaches the end of the neuron, it cannot simply continue to the next cell. Instead, it must trigger the release of neurotransmitters which can then carry the impulse across the synapse to the next neuron.
Once a nerve impulse has triggered the release of neurotransmitters, these chemical messengers cross the tiny synaptic gap and are taken up by receptors on the surface of the next cell.
These receptors act much like a lock, while the neurotransmitters function much like keys. Neurotransmitters may excite or inhibit the neuron they bind to Synapses are composed of three main parts:
The presynaptic ending that contains neurotransmitters
The synaptic cleft between the two nerve cells
The postsynaptic ending that contains receptor sites
An electrical impulse travels down the axon of a neuron and then triggers the release of tiny vesicles containing neurotransmitters. These vesicles will then bind to the membrane of the presynaptic cell, releasing the neurotransmitters into the synapse.

Nerve Impulse is defined as a wave of electrical chemical changes across the neuron that helps in the generation of the action potential in response to the stimulus. This transmission of a nerve impulse across the neuron membrane as a result of a change in membrane potential is known as Nerve impulse conduction.
Mechanism of Nerve Impulse Conduction
Nerve impulse conduction is a major process occurring in the body responsible for organized functions of the body. So, for conduction of nerve impulse there are two mechanisms:
Continuous conduction
Saltatory conduction

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

2. • Synapse is the junction between two
neurons. It is not an anatomical
continuation. But, it is only a
physiological continuity between two
nerve cells.
• CLASSIFICATION OF SYNAPSE:
Synapse is classified by two methods:
A. Anatomical classification
B. Functional classification.
3. Anatomical Classification
• Usually synapse is formed by axon
of one neuron ending on the cell
body, dendrite or axon of the next
neuron. Depending upon ending of
axon,
synapse is classified into three types:
1. Axo-axonic synapse in which axon
of one neuron terminates on axon of
another neuron
2. Axo-dendritic synapse in which the
axon of one neuron terminates on
dendrite of another neuron
3. Axo-somatic synapse in which axon
of one neuron ends on soma (cell
body) of another neuron
4. Functional Classification
• Functional classification of synapse is on the basis of mode
of impulse transmission
1. Electrical Synapse: is the synapse in which the
physiological continuity between the presynaptic and the
postsynaptic neurons is provided by gap junction between the
two neurons.
2. Chemical synapse: Is the junction between a nerve fiber and
a muscle fiber or between two nerve fibers, through which the
signals are transmitted by the release of chemical transmitter
5.
6. On The Basis Of Functions, Synapses Are Divided Into Two
Types:
1. Excitatory synapses: which transmit the impulses (excitatory
function)
-Excitatory Postsynaptic Potential:
Excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) is the non propagated
electrical potential that develops during the process of synaptic
transmission.
2. Inhibitory synapses, which inhibit the transmission of
impulses (inhibitory function)
-Postsynaptic or Direct Inhibition:
Postsynaptic inhibition (IPSP) is the type of synaptic inhibition
that occurs due to the release of an inhibitory neurotransmitter
from presynaptic terminal instead of an excitatory
neurotransmitter substance. It is also called direct inhibition.
Inhibitory neurotransmitters are gammaaminobutyric acid
(GABA), dopamine and glycine
7. Chemical Synapse
• Terminal bouton is separated
from postsynaptic cell by
synaptic cleft.
• Neurotransmitter (NT) are
released from synaptic vesicles.
• Vesicles fuse with axon
membrane and NT released by
exocytosis.
• Amount of NTs released
depends upon frequency of
action potentials AP.
8. Synaptic Transmission
• Neurotransmitter NT release is rapid because many
vesicles form fusion-complexes at “docking site.”
• AP travels down axon to bouton.
• VG Ca2+ channels open.
◦ Ca2+ enters bouton down concentration gradient.
◦ Inward diffusion triggers rapid fusion of synaptic
• vesicles and release of NTs.
• Ca2+ activates calmodulin, which activates protein
kinase.
• Protein kinase phosphorylates synapsins.
◦ Synapsins aid in the fusion of synaptic vesicles.
9. Synaptic Transmission
• NTs are released and diffuse across synaptic cleft.
• NT (ligand) binds to specific receptor proteins in
postsynaptic cell membrane.
• Chemically-regulated gated ion channels open.
▫ EPSP: depolarization.
▫ IPSP: hyperpolarization.
• Neurotransmitter inactivated to end transmission.
11. Difference
Between
EPSP
and
IPSP
EPSP IPSP
EPSP: An EPSP is an electrical charge on the
postsynaptic membrane, which is caused by
the binding of excitatory neurotransmitters
and makes the postsynaptic membrane
generate an action potential.
IPSP: An IPSP is an electric charge on the
postsynaptic membrane, which is caused by
the binding of inhibitory neurotransmitters
and makes the postsynaptic membrane less
likely to generate an action potential.
EPSP is caused by the flow of positively-
charged ions.
IPSP is caused by the flow of negatively-
charged ions.
EPSP: EPSP is a depolarization. IPSP: IPSP is a hyperpolarization.
EPSP: EPSP brings the postsynaptic
membrane towards the threshold.
IPSP: IPSP takes the postsynaptic membrane
away from the threshold.
EPSP makes the postsynaptic membrane
more excited.
IPSP makes the postsynaptic membrane less
excited
EPSP facilitates the firing of an action
potential on the postsynaptic membrane.
IPSP lowers the firing of an action potential
on the postsynaptic membrane
EPSP is the result of the opening of the
sodium channels.
IPSP is the result of the opening of the
potassium or chloride channels.
EPSP is generated by the flow of glutamate
or aspartate ions.
IPSP: IPSP is generated by the flow of glycine
or GABA.
12. Acetylcholine (ACh) as NT
• ACh is both an excitatory and
inhibitory NT, depending on
organ involved.
▫ Causes the opening of
chemical gated ion channels.
• Nicotinic ACh receptors: Found
in autonomic ganglia and skeletal
muscle fibers.
• Muscarinic ACh receptors:
Found in the plasma membrane of
smooth and cardiac muscle cells,
and in cells of particular glands.
13. Acetylcholine (ACh) as NT
• Most direct mechanism. Ion
channel runs through
receptor.
▫ Receptor has 5
polypeptide subunits that
enclose ion channel.
▫ 2 subunits contain ACh
binding sites.
• Channel opens when both
sites bind to ACh.
▫ Permits diffusion of Na+
into and K+ out of
postsynaptic cell.
• Inward flow of Na+
dominates.
▫ Produces EPSPs
14. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid):
• GABA (gamma-aminobutyric
acid):
▫ major inhibitory NT in brain.
• Hyperpolarizes postsynaptic
membrane.
• Motor functions in cerebellum.
• After excretion – GABA
resorbed from synaptic cleft
(neurons or surrounding glial
cells); transport requires
presence of extracellular Na +
and Cl -
15. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid):
• The binding of GABA to
receptor.
-increases the flow of chloride
(CI-) ions in the postsynaptic cells
-raising its membrane
potential and inhibiting it.
• The binding of GABA to
receptors activates a second
messenger opening K+ channels.
• produce
• -Inhibitory Postsynaptic
Potential (IPSP) which
counteracts the excitatory
signals.
16.
17. • Drugs such as Phenobarbital,
Valium, Librium, and other
sedatives bind themselves to
GABA receptors and enhance its
inhibitory effect on the Central
Nervous System.
• Amino acid is used at excitatory
synapses in the Central Nervous
System and is helpful in long
term potentiation or memory.
• Serotonin and histamine also
stimulate intestinal peristalsis.
Neurotransmitters react
differently to receptors in
different areas of the brain.
• So while it can cause an
excitatory effect in one area, it
can cause an inhibitory effect in
another.
For example, in the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine (Ach), its binding to receptors opens up sodium channels and allows an influx of Na+ ions and reduces membrane potential which is referred to as Excitatory Postsynaptic potential(EPSP
