Synapse
Synapses are, by definition, connections. Most synapses are inputs (unidirectional). They receive stimuli from other neurons and neuron like processes (senses, etc.), which in turn affect the output of the neuron they are part of. Their effect on their neuron is either to increase the likelihood of a positive output on its axon (excite), or to decrease the likelihood of a positive output on its axon (inhibit).
