At a synapse, an arriving electric signal releases chemical molecules that cross the synapse and MAY enter adjoining nerves.

Given your well-known position on EU, the post seemed to me to have 'an agenda'
@FearlessFly It does and I do. The bb is a religion for people who are unable to quit religion. Governments need well-educated people for emergencies and have to subsidize some, but the bb encourages low quality thinking.
