An excitatory synapse is a synapse in which an action potential in a presynaptic neuron increases the probability of an action potential occurring in a postsynaptic cell. Neurons form networks through which nerve impulses travel, each neuron often making numerous connections with other cells.
Types of synapses. 1  there are two types of synapses: electrical synapses. 2  electrical synapses are a direct electrical coupling between two cells mediated by gap junctions, which are pores (as shown in the electron micrograph) constructed of connexin proteins. 3  in contrast, chemical synapses are: slow.
