Synaptic Transmission. Introduction Neurons receive information from sensory organs, send information to motor organs, or share information with other neurons. The process of communicating information is very similar, whether it is to another neuron or to a muscle or gland cell.However, by far the largest number of neuronal connections is with other neurons. The rest of this tutorial therefore focuses on inter-neuronal communication.he transmission of information is accomplished in two ways: 1  Electrically: the neuron is directly adjacent to other neurons. 2  Chemically: there is a space (the synaptic cleft) between the axon terminus and the adjacent neuron.
To err on the side of caution, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) advises pregnant women to limit their caffeine intake to less than 200 milligrams per day, which is about one 11-ounce cup of coffee (See the chart below to get a sense of the amount of caffeine in common beverages and foods.)
1 Caffeine: Before you get pregnant, your doctor may recommend limiting caffeine to no more than 300 milligrams (mg) per day. 2  That's about the amount in two 8-ounce cups of coffee. 3  Remember, caffeine isn't just in coffee and tea -- it's also in chocolate, some soft drinks, and certain medications. It's ideal to go into pregnancy with good dietary habits already in place. 2  That includes eating a variety of foods rich in fiber, and getting enough calcium, folic acid, and other nutrients. 3  Caffeine: Before you get pregnant, your doctor may recommend limiting caffeine to no more than 300 milligrams (mg) per day.
