Synapses are specialized cell-cell contact sites that facilitate communication and computation of information of neuronal circuits on a sub-millisecond scale. The accuracy of this process is vital as even subtle changes in synaptic function can disturb neuronal circuits and cause pathological abnormalities that lead to neurological and/or psychiatric disorders.
