You're mixing terminology. A neuron is not a synapse. - There are ~100 billion neurons in the human brain - There are 100-1000 trillion synapses in the human brain There's strong evidence to suggest that each synapse is more akin to a digital perceptron than a neuron is. Synaptic cleft distance, transmitter types, dendritic structure, reuptake, etc are all factors that can allow for some level of long-term storage and mediation of subsequent neural activation. [Edit] Maybe not "mixing" but seemingly comparing apples and oranges.
