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，神经突触，也就是脑袋里帮助你记忆和理解的上亿神精元，主要在夜晚、睡觉的时候生成。

根据目前的估计，人类大脑中有600亿突触。

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

SSRIs 减少了对 5-羟胺的再摄取，从而增加了突触周围的 5-羟胺含量。

The process of pairing the homologous chromosomes is called synapsis.

同源染体配对的过程称为联会。

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

最终，这就导致了新突触的形成，这些突触本质上是神经元之间的连接——尽管神经元实际上并不相互接触。

To understand how cocaine works, let's zoom into one of the synapses of the brain.

为了弄清可卡因的作用机制，让我们来讲一讲大脑的突触！

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

请记住，信号通过电突触或化学突触在神经元之间传播。

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神经元，其中数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突触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细胞组成，在这些细胞中，你会发现数亿突触在不停地放电。

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1000亿神经元，它们通过叫做突触的间隙相互交流，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，这样的惯性可以打造富有创造性的肌肉，让神经突触保持兴奋，然后画面自然就来了。

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

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

" 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，这些连接会形成功能性突触，突触随后会联成网络。”

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，并检查了神经元之间被称为突触的化学连接。

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

他们发现，抑郁症患者的突触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，儿童大脑中每神经元的突触数量是成年人的两倍。

The synapses add existing footage from the long-term memory to make it a creative and memorable experience.

这些突触添加了长期记忆中已有的片段，使之成为一种创造性的、令人难忘的体验。

Neurons and synapses are the cells and electric forces that carry messages to and from the brain.

神经元和神经键就是从大脑传送和接收信息的细胞和电力。
