Serotonin which contributes to feeling of well-being and happiness, works by moving from neuron to neuron in your brain through a gap called the synapse.

5 -羟色胺有助于产生幸福愉快的感觉，它通过一个叫做的间隙在大脑神经之间传递。

Neuroscientist proved that synapses, the million billion connections in your brain that make you remember and understand stuff, grow mainly at night when you are asleep.

科学家证实，神经，也就是脑袋里帮助你记忆和理解的上百亿个神精，主要在夜晚、睡觉的时候生成。

If you're thinking cerebrum. Oh, synapse, I think neuron to something.

如果你在想大脑、，我想是神经。

This information is saved by altering neurons and creating synapses and connections.

的讯息能因神经的不断改变及神经键和连结的创造而被储存下来。

Current estimates suggest there are 600 trillion synapses in a human brain.

根据目前的估计，人类大脑中有600亿个。

SSRIs reduce the reuptake of serotonin, which increases the amount of serotonin hanging around synapses.

SSRIs 减少了对 5-羟色胺的再摄取，从而增加了周围的 5-羟色胺含量。

After serotonin is pumped into the synapse, it is either taken up into the pre-synaptic neuron for later use or it is metabolized by an enzyme into 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA).

5-羟色胺被“泵”入神经，要么被带到前神经备用，要么被某种酶代谢成 5-羟基吲哚乙酸（5-HIAA）。

Eventually, this leads to the formation of new synapses, which are essentially connections between neurons – though the neurons don't actually touch.

最终，就导致了新的形成，些本质上是神经之间的连接——尽管神经实际上并不相互接。

Remember, signals travel between neurons either by electrical or chemical synapses.

请记住，信号通过电或化学在神经之间传播。

But because the brain has billions of neurons, of which millions could be involved in any single task, scientists have puzzled over how it knows which synapses to tweak and by how much.

但由于大脑有数十亿个神经，其中数百个可能参与任何一项任务，科学家们一直在思考大脑如何知道要调整哪些以及调整到何种程度。

And inside of that human, you would find a brain made of millions of cells in which you would find trillions of synapses firing away.

在人类的体内，你会发现他的大脑由数百个细胞组成，在些细胞中，你会发现数亿个在不停地放电。

Your brain contains around 100 billion neurons that communicate with each other across gaps called synapses using proteins and chemicals called neurotransmitters.

你的大脑包含大约1000亿个神经，它们通过叫做的间隙相互交流，使用的是叫做神经递质的蛋白质和化学物质。

For the writer, honestly, it helps you build up a kind of creative reflex, so that those synapses fire off, and the images come.

说实话，对作家来说，的惯性可以打造富有创造性的肌肉，让神经保持兴奋，然画面自然就来了。

And sixth, these modular genes seem to be involved in the crucial job of linking nerve cells together through junctions called synapses.

些单位基因组似乎在担子不轻，它们要经过各个枢纽将神经细胞连接到一起，些枢纽名叫。

The neurotransmitters travel across the synapse and bind to receptors on the postsynaptic neuron, where they give the cell a message.

神经递质经过间隙与神经的受体结合，给神经提供信息。

Although the exact mechanism is unknown, repeated firing of neurons causes changes in the synapse, which interferes with normal impulse conduction.

虽然确切的机制尚不清楚，神经的反复放电会引起的变化，从而干扰正常的脉冲传导。

" And they will form connections, and these connections will form functional synapses that will, later on, turn into networks."

“它们会形成连接，些连接会形成功能性，随会联成网络。”

They also identified classes of cells in the fly's brain and examined the chemical connections between neurons known as synapses.

他们还确定了果蝇大脑中的细胞类别，并检查了神经之间被称为的化学连接。

They discovered that patients with depression had a lower density of synapses than healthy people of the same age.

他们发现，抑郁症患者的密度低于同龄的健康人群。

By the age of three, a child's brain has twice as many synapses per neuron than in adults.

到三岁时，儿童大脑中每个神经的数量是成年人的两倍。
