Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electrical synapses are less common than chemical synapses but allow for faster signal transmission as they involve the direct transfer of electrical current between neurons by gap junctions. In contrast, chemical synapses involve the release and diffusion of neurotransmitters across a synaptic cleft to trigger a response in the postsynaptic neuron.
