Those synapses are where the chemicals from one neuron are kind of spit out or vomited into. And then the next nerve cell detects those chemicals and then passes electricity down its length to the next nerve cell and so forth.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
Neurons communicate with one another by spitting out chemicals into the little gap between them.
In between the neurons, they're little spaces, those little spaces are called synapses and neurons literally vomit, well, they don't literally vomit, but they release little packets of so-called transmitter chemical into that space we call a synapse.
Neurons communicate with one another through chemicals. They release certain chemicals that make other neurons more or less likely to be electrically active.
