Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sir Charles Sherrington's observation of longer travel time for impulses provided evidence for the existence of synaptic gaps, the tiny spaces between neurons where chemical signals are transmitted from one neuron to the next. This discovery broadened our understanding of how neurons communicate with one another and laid the foundation for modern research on the brain and nervous system.
