n. [解剖学](神经元轴突的)突触(synapse的复数);[细胞生物学](染色体的)结合(synapsis的复数)
v. 形成突触(synapse的第三人称单数)
- Groups of neurons form vastly interconnected networks, which, by changing the strength of the synapses between cells, can process information, and learn.
神经元相互连接,组成庞大的网络,通过细胞之间突触的强度变化,达到处理信息和学习的目的。 - In our brains, where millions of signals move across anetwork of neurons like runners in a relay race, all the critical baton passes take place at synapses.
在我们的大脑中,数百万的信号就象接力赛运动员那样在由神经元组成的网络上飞奔,所有关键性的接力棒传递都在突触上完成。 - ” The relevant genes turn on, and the synapses that are holding the short-term memory when the synapse-strengthening proteins find them, become, in effect, tattooed.
于是基因启动了,而当突触强化蛋白质找到了还保存著短期记忆的突触时,这些突触就真的纹上了记忆拼图。
