An electrical synapse is a synapse in which electrical current flows directly from one cell to another via a gap junction. It is one of the two major classes of synapses, the other being the chemical synapse. At a gap junction, the two neurons are separated by a very narrow gap of about 2–4 nm of each other, a distance much smaller than the 20- to 40-nanometer distance that separates cells at a chemical synapse.
