synapse: junction between two neurons that allows transmission of messages from one to another. usually described as a GAP
"learning involves strengthening existing synapses..."
learning = strengthen gap
just how exactly do you strengthen a gap? isn't a gap the nothingness in between two somethings? i guess it's really a connection though. I clearly need to learn more brain physiology.

When we strengthen these gaps, we're really making the neurotransmitters better at their jobs - more efficient, if you will, because they are used often and "get good at their jobs."
