Maturation of Micturition-Related Neural Circuits That Control Pelvic Visceromotor Functions in Postnatal Rats. [PDF]
Coordinated postnatal emergence of CRH‐ergic innervation (red) and perineuronal nets (green) in spinal micturition centers (blue) defines a sexually dimorphic timeline of circuit stabilization, highlighting a critical period for hormonally regulated visceromotor maturation (see manuscript). ABSTRACT Pelvic visceromotor functions such as micturition are

Colocalization of connexin 36 and corticotropin-releasing hormone in the mouse brain [PDF]
Background Gap junction proteins, connexins, are expressed in most endocrine and exocrine glands in the body and are at least in some glands crucial for the hormonal secretion.

The Amino Terminal Domain and Modulation of Connexin36 Gap Junction Channels by Intracellular Magnesium Ions [PDF]
Electrical synapses between neurons in the mammalian CNS are predominantly formed of the connexin36 (Cx36) gap junction (GJ) channel protein. Unique among GJs formed of a number of other members of the Cx gene family, Cx36 GJs possess a high sensitivity ...

Localization of Retinal Ca2+/Calmodulin-Dependent Kinase II-β (CaMKII-β) at Bipolar Cell Gap Junctions and Cross-Reactivity of a Monoclonal Anti-CaMKII-β Antibody With Connexin36 [PDF]
Neuronal gap junctions formed by connexin36 (Cx36) and chemical synapses share striking similarities in terms of plasticity. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), an enzyme known to induce memory formation at chemical synapses, has ...

Gap Junctions in A8 Amacrine Cells Are Made of Connexin36 but Are Differently Regulated Than Gap Junctions in AII Amacrine Cells [PDF]
In the mammalian retina, amacrine cells represent the most diverse cell class and are involved in the spatio-temporal processing of visual signals in the inner plexiform layer.

E3 ubiquitin ligases LNX1 and LNX2 localize at neuronal gap junctions formed by connexin36 in rodent brain and molecularly interact with connexin36 [PDF]
Electrical synapses in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS) are increasingly recognized as highly complex structures for mediation of neuronal communication, both with respect to their capacity for dynamic short- and long-term modification in ...

A Hypothetical Energy-Dissipating Mechanism Regulated by Glucose in β-Cells Preceding Sustained Insulin Secretion [PDF]
In this review we propose the hypothesis that an energy-dissipating process precedes the continuous stimulation of insulin secretion by glucose. This process is mediated by connexin 36 hemichannels (Cx36H), or Cx36 connexons.

Connexin36 RNA Expression in the Cochlear Nucleus of the Echolocating Bat, Eptesicus fuscus. [PDF]
(Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Purpose The echolocating bat is used as a model for studying the auditory nervous system because its specialized sensory capabilities arise from general mammalian auditory percepts such as pitch and sound source localization. These percepts are mediated by precise timing within neurons and networks of

A Variant of GJD2, Encoding for Connexin 36, Alters the Function of Insulin Producing β-Cells. [PDF]
Signalling through gap junctions contributes to control insulin secretion and, thus, blood glucose levels. Gap junctions of the insulin-producing β-cells are made of connexin 36 (Cx36), which is encoded by the GJD2 gene.
