How does a synapse work?
471751
a synapse is also called a junction. it's a space between neurons where neurotransmitters are released. to transmit information from one neuron to another, the neurotransmitters travel through the cell body of the neuron and are released though the axon. after chillin in the synaptic gaps they are received from the dendrite of another neuron. i'm assuming you know what an action potential is? anyway as it travels through the nueron it can't really leave so it lets the neurotransmitters escape and go to another neuron. if the action potential is great enough you react to the stimulus. if it doesn't reach the threshold then you don't.

there are roughly 100 billion neurons in an average adult human brain.  estimates of synaptic connections between these neurons is estimated to be on the order of 100 trillion.  although these are not analagous to bits or bytes, if they were, the capacity would be on the order of 100 terabytes.

create new synapses by doing anything that would make you"connect the dots"\nlike solving math problems, painting, walking with awareness etc.

Learn assembler\n\nuse softice or linice to read memory changes\n\n\nsee what changes what and where then make a proggy to manipulate values in the memory.

May I suggest that you will probably get more help with this question in the Computers & Internet category, instead of Homework Help.  That category has computer buffs by the score who would jump at the chance to explain their beloved system to you.\n\nGood luck!

your dendrites grow and make new connections.

There is probably a driver to control that. I have a gateway, and its probably the settings thats wrong. Try going to the control panel, get to the mouse settings, and clicking on the tab that says DEVICE SETTINGS. then click settings. you should have a window full of mouse and scrolling settings. \n\nYou need to be useing Synaptics for this to work properly.

Anytime you learn anything new you form synaptic connections.  The brain changes as a result of experience and having more synaptic connections protects against Alzheimer's.  I listed a Web MD article that summarizes studies on the subject--including doing crossword puzzles.

1. I guess You think about the nexuses. Its a metabolic and ionic connection of cells in form of ionic channels (built by proteins called conexones or conexone proteins).It provides rapid transport of membrane polarization changes. Its a form of electric synapses.\n2.I guess You think about the lysosomes. They're created by Golgi's Apart ('Trans" side).Lysosomic enzymes are created by Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum and GA. Lysosomical endoenvironment's pH is about 5. Function- to connect with endosomes, phagosomes and autophagosomes and to catalyze and guide analysis reaction (some kinds of digestive reactions).

Why are you passing large amounts of data between programs?\n\nIt would be better to pass a pointer to the working storage location.\nYou may have to call another program to get the address of the storage.

The combination of a single motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates is called a motor unit. Synapse takes place at the motor end plate.

When the electrical impulse reaches the end of the axon it is transferred to the next nerve cell so the message can continue. At the end of the axon the cell widens out and forms a bulb which comes close to but does not touch the next nerve cell. It is this tiny space between the two cells that is referred to as a synapse. Transmission of the signal across a synapse involves the release of a chemical, called a neurotransmitter, which passes from one cell to the other across the synapse. The neurotransmitter acts on receptor sites on the second cell's membrane, changing its permeability to sodium ions and thus stimulating depolarization. In this manner the nerve impulse is transferred to the second cell.

Not without preparing it. Mice and keyboards rarely fail together, what's the rest of the story?
