Electrical synapses and field effects may play essential roles in synchronizing neuronal activity within the nucleus.

Just as importantly, the resulting nerve cells were able to conduct electrical impulses and could form the specialised junctions called synapses, by means of which nerve cells talk to each other.

同样重要的发现是，最终得到的神经细胞可以传导电冲动并能形成神经突触(细胞交流的平台)。

Besides the synapses that mediate electrical signals, there are also so-called gap junctions that allow direct chemical communication between neurons.

除了形成电子信号的突触以外，还有使得神经元之间产生直接化学通信的缝隙连接。

Electrical stimulation of these synapses releases a chemical called serotonin and this, in turn, somehow stimulates the manufacture of the memory-forming proteins.

Information is carried across synapses not by electrical pulses but by chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.
