Question

how is synapse formed

Answer 1

Synaptogenesis is the formation of synapsesbetween neurons in the nervous system. Although it occurs throughout a healthy person's lifespan, an explosion of synapse formation occurs during early brain development, known as exuberant synaptogenesis.Synaptogenesis is the formation of synapsesbetween neurons in the nervous system. Although it occurs throughout a healthy person's lifespan, an explosion of synapse formation occurs during early brain development, known as exuberant synaptogenesis.[1] Synaptogenesis is particularly important during an individual's critical period, during which there is a certain degree of synaptic pruning due to competition for neural growth factors by neurons and synapses. Processes that are not used, or inhibited during their critical period will fail to develop normally later on in

Answer 2

First of all,
Synapse is a gap as well as a junction between the two neurons.

The formation of synapse is called Synaptogenesis.


Synapse formation is a highly regulated process resulting in morphologically distinct subcellular structures in the pre- and postsynaptic sites to transmit and receive signals, respectively
