synaptic connectivity

Synaptic connectivity refers to how neurons in the brain connect and communicate with each other through synapses, which are tiny gaps between them. When a neuron sends a signal, it releases chemicals called neurotransmitters into this gap, allowing the next neuron to receive the information. This intricate web of connections forms the basis for everything we think, feel, and do. The strength and number of these connections can change over time, which is essential for learning and memory. Essentially, synaptic connectivity shapes how our brain processes and responds to experiences.
