Synaptic Networks

Professor William Kristan explains that synaptic networks are a connection of cells, all of which perform the same function (e.g. inhibition, modulation).

Well, a synaptic network is all those cells that are connected to one another. There are lots of different kinds of synapses, there are excitatory and inhibitory, chemical, electrical, modulatory. A network of cells are the ones that are all involved in doing the same thing and so these are the synapses that are connecting among them, that are the interface, the connections.
