I synapse therefore I am

Thanks for your comment. I have simplified the model for an undergraduate level and am sorry for any lack of detail. When calcium enters the cell there are multiple processes which are activated by the influx of calcium as a result of calcium binding to intracellular proteins. Synaptotagmin is involved in the late stages of vesicle fusion. Although synaptotagmin is required for normal functioning of many synapses, it is not essential, some say it is a negative regulator of spontaneous release.

This is not very reliable, plus the vague statements made in it are slightly incorrect. The calcium ions do not cause the binding, rather proteins found in the transport membranes detect the calcium levels, then initatate binding. Such as synaptotagmin.

I can use telepathy, send and receive voice and video up to distance of few kilometer.

One of the most advanced things I can do is to talk brain to brain and it is very fascinating,

works 100% all the time and it is really talk direct to brain.
