something to think about!!!

Well today generated a whole new set of questions for me!!! I find the nervous system to be very complex and the architecture of it immensely interesting. I like what I learned today about the differences between both the inhibitory and excitatory synapse. Some of the questions that I'm still wrestling with is, what happens to all of those synapses that do not reach an action potential? Do they just dissapear? I was always taught to every action there is a reaction!!! So much for that theory....
