461 point One difference between a chemical synapse and an electrical synapse is that electrical synapses are slower than chemical synapses. Synaptic gaps in chemical synapses are smaller than in electrical synapses. Electrical synapses can only be inhibitory connections, whereas chemical synapses can be both excitatory or inhibitory. Chemical synapses can be excitatory or inhibitory, but electrical synapses can only be excitatory. 46 1 point One difference between a chemical synapse and an electrical synapse is that electrical synapses are slower than chemical synapses.
