Synapse Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
SyNAPSE is a DARPA program that aims to develop electronic neuromorphic machine technology that scales to biological levels. More simply stated, it is an attempt to build a new kind of computer with similar form, function, and architecture to the mammalian brain. Such artificial brains would be used in robots whose intelligence matches that of rats, cats, and ultimately even humans.

In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another cell (neural or otherwise). Santiago Ramón y Cajal proposed that neurons are not continuous throughout the body, yet still communicate with each other, an idea known as the neuron doctrine.. The word "synapse" comes from "synaptein", which Sir Charles Scott Sherrington and colleagues coined from the Greek "syn-" ("together") and "haptein" ("to clasp").

Synapse Definition from Medicine Dictionaries & Glossaries
a connection between two neurons in the central nervous system.
a small gap between neurons or between neurons and effector cells (e.g., muscle cells) where neural transmission takes places. Typically, a neurotransmitter is released into the gap (synapse) by a neuron and taken up by cells on the other side.
