The only "branches" in the structure of a neuron are the dendrites and terminal buttons. Furthermore, neurons and neurotransmitters have both chemical and electrical aspects to them,.........its not just simply an electircal impulse.
Im a bit rusty because I have been out of school for a while now, but I can talk all day about this and go into much more detail. I specialized in Behavioural Neuroscience while completing my Psychology degree, and your description of a synaps is quite frankly pathetic.
You get a C- for failing to separate yourself from the veridical language rote-memorized in college and instead use a higher level of conceptual understanding that good Ph.D.'s show.
For example, you failed to conceptualize the broader picture of things. And that is that the ultimate function of the neuron is to pass the electrical impulse or to not pass it. Come on, dude.

Just in case you neuroscience "experts" want to counter me again, let me give you an example regarding post #242. Neuroscientists at whatever level of investigation (neural, systems, cognitive), talk about a single neuron's ability to "grow/build 10,000 to 15,000 synapses." See it's a result of language and the fact we assigned a term (synapse) to designate a space, or something that doesn't really exist unless additional connections (axon terminals) are first created. So we've come to refer to the whole thing as "building synapses."

He just spent the last 4 hours researching all this shit for apost, and I bet its all still a load of dung.
Meanwhile I was getting to hob nob with industry big wigs and see some awesome new technology and nice catered dinner at the Universal Hilton...Cog = LOSER.

At a slightly higher level of the viewing lens, we can more simply just refer to there being more connection points or branches. Thank you.

If you wanna yammer on about using proper language,......MAYBE you should have used the proper language and expressed yourself correctly (say what you actually mean) in the first place.
You are sad, and so arrogant it makes my head spin. If you respond to this post specifically Im going to ignore you. If you wanna argue your BS pertaining to brain structure and fuction,.......PM me (Im willing to tolerate you for a LITTLE bit of time on this subject), but stop wasting other forum members time with your BS that is totally off topic.

At that time it was observed that ablations in a certain region that included frontal regions and subcortical regions seemed to affect emotion, and he called the entire region the limbic system. We now know more precisely the structures and regions that interact to produce emotion, including the amygdala, basal ganglia, and ventral medial prefrontal cortex. Unsurprisingly, these regions are heavily connected.

Does he think nicholbr and I are the same person? In any event, he must have come across the story of good ole Pheneas Guage,............That must be Chapter 1. Sorry, I couldnt resist. If you actually know what you are talking about,.........you get the reference.

Sure pal, give me a break. You say something thats incorrect, then say you were talking about it on a conceptual level. You are pathetic. Now its,......oh, I was looking at the bigger pictures blah blah blah because a single neuron can have thousands of synapses with other neurons blah blah blah NO SHIT. Why do I have to look at the bigger picture,....you didnt in your description of a synapse,......therefor I didnt. Do I need to write a 50 page paper to cover all my bases????? Was your response to my post in Chapter 2??? You better start reading Chapter 3 before I mention something you have not gotten too yet. Are you going to start talking about how the level of excitation is reached in a neuron and how neurons actually fire next. How about how the brain has a certain degree of plasticity even after being fully developed, which can be shown through brain damage in some individuals. How about how the role of the limbic system, or maybe the basal ganglia.

Maybe if I start declaring things,.....going back on what I say,.......looking up everyting on the internet so I look smart,...................some of you guys will think I am as smart as cog.

So, how many times has our wunder idiot said the word conceptual now.
And PS, there is a proper way to use commas. It is NOT up to the preference of the writer.
But I guess you didn't pass high school english, nor read Elements of Style.
