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.)
This study finds an effect at 200mg a day. Caffeine takes longer to be broken down in the body during pregnancy and it reaches the baby through the placenta. The developing baby is not great at processing caffeine and it can increase the baby's levels of stress hormones.
