Abstract
Synapse formation is a unique biological phenomenon. The molecular biological perspective of this phenomenon is different from the fractal geometrical one. However, these perspectives are not mutually exclusive and supplement each other. The cornerstone of the first one is a chain of biochemical reactions with the Markov property, that is, a deterministic, conditional, memoryless process ordered in time and in space, in which the consecutive stages are determined by the expression of some regulatory proteins. The coordination of molecular and cellular events leading to synapse formation occurs in fractal time space, that is, the space that is not only the arena of events but also actively influences those events. This time space emerges owing to coupling of time and space through nonlinear dynamics. The process of synapse formation possesses fractal dynamics with non-Gaussian distribution of probability and a reduced number of molecular Markov chains ready for transfer of biologically relevant information.
