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.)
According to an article published in November 2008 in the journal BMJ, increased caffeine intake during pregnancy can lead to fetal growth restriction and possibly spontaneous abortion. To best minimize your risk, consume less than 100 milligrams of caffeine per day, or no more than 1 to 2 cups of coffee. Caffeine may also have adverse impacts in children, such as disturbing their sleep, and intake should be limited to 2.5 milligrams of caffeine per kilogram of their body weight per day.
