# Synapse

Synapse is a vital component of the nervous system in both animals and humans. It is a specialized junction between two neurons and is the primary means of communication between them. At a synapse, electrical signals from one neuron are converted to chemical signals, which are then transmitted to the other neuron.
A synapse can be thought of as a bridge connecting two islands, where messages are passed from one island to the other.
