In pharmacy, synaptic transmission is the brain's messaging, mostly chemical—neurotransmitters crossing the gap to dock at receptors, like keys in locks. The difference is that electrical synapses are a direct, swift current between cells, but chemical synapses are what our medicines touch, slowing or boosting those signals with pills. I know chemicals change a story because my father's moods shift with his tablets, as deliberate and fragile as my glaze setting on a pot.
