Which of the following statements regarding electrical synapses is most accurate?

1 point

Electrical

synapses are especially abundant in the mature central nervous system, but not

in the developing nervous system.

Electrical

synapses are important for the synchronization of local ensembles of neurons,

as exemplified by hormone-producing neurosecretory cells.

Electrical

synapses allow for the diffusion of monovalent ions, but no other small

molecules, between the cytoplasm of the connected cells.

Electrical

synapses allow for uni-directional, but not bi-directional transmission, of

electrical signals between cells.

Electrical

synapses are associated with asymmetrical histological structures across the

interconnected neurons, including a prominent presynaptic terminal laden with

synaptic vesicles and postsynaptic densities underlying the postsynaptic

membrane.
