Type of synapse in which communication is by electrical synaptic transmission. Potentials are transmitted by direct flow of ions through gap junctions
a direct physical connection between the cytoplasm of adjacent cells so that ions can flow directly from one cell to another
a mechanical and electrically conductive link between two abutting neuron s that is formed at a narrow gap between the pre- and postsynaptic cell s known as a gap junction
