Ever find yourself at work but you have a hard time coping… thinking… or dealing with people? The problem could be irregular synapses…. Your nervous system comes complete with chemical synapses that impact your day … up or down … moreso than you may think. These chemical synapses are intersections where cells from your nervous system communicate to one another and also talk your muscles or glands.
Think of a synapse as the junction situated between an axon and its adjacent neuron. To put it simply … synapses are like 
telephone lines that allow the brain to communicate. That’s why when the lines are down or gimped … you might feel either sluggish or hyperactive.
Synapses impact thought and perception …. Here’s how…. When chemical synapses allow neurons of the central nervous system to form interconnected neural circuits correctly you will experience accurate perceptions and thought. They also help the nervous system to connects to and control messages from your brain to other systems of the body.
While synapses are highest in children … they tend to decline with age … and then stabilize by the time you hit adulthood. Did you know, for instance that adults varies from 100 to 500 trillion synapses.
In addition to chemical synapses … of course… you also possess electrical synapses. When you awaken… your synapses may take time to fire and you may feel groggy until they fire. Does that describe you? At other times … with underactive synapses you’ll tend toward depression. Or you may struggle with overactive synapses.
With growing research about how synapses work… there are amazing helps with the chemical and electrical activity rates and patterns your brain needs to work well for you. Now that you are aware of the problems or possibilities with synapses… you are also aware that the brain’s plasticity is the ability of your brain to rewire and change – based on your own activity. We still have a great deal to learn about how to change the synapses to their optimum but Brown University is leading the field in research that will enable improved synapses when they fail people.
Can you see how your brain makes you fearfully and wonderfully made?

It may surprise you that your brain Also creates chaos as it operates, according to researchers at the University of Bonn. This recent study shows neurons that relay information in much more chaotic ways than previously thought, as a way... [Read More]
