Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2012 Dendrodendritic electrical signaling via gap junctions is now an accepted feature of neuronal communication in the mammalian brain, whereas axodendritic and axosomatic gap junctions have rarely been described.

Autonomic Neuroscience, 2008 Gap junctional communication in the adult CNS plays an important role in the synchronization of neuronal activities. In vitro studies have shown evidence of electrotonic coupling through gap junctions between sympathetic preganglionic motoneurons and between somatic motoneurons in the neonatal and adult rat spinal cord.

The intercellular synchronization of Ca2+ oscillations evaluates Cx36-dependent coupling.
PLoS ONE, 2012 Connexin36 (Cx36) plays an important role in insulin secretion by controlling the intercellular synchronization of Ca(2+) transients induced during stimulation.

Encoding of Tactile Stimuli by Mechanoreceptors and Interneurons of the Medicinal Leech [PDF]
, 2016 For many animals processing of tactile information is a crucial task in behavioral contexts like exploration, foraging, and stimulus avoidance. The leech, having infrequent access to food, developed an energy efficient reaction to tactile stimuli ...

Intracellular Magnesium-Dependent Modulation of Gap Junction Channels Formed by Neuronal Connexin36 [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 Gap junction (GJ) channels composed of Connexin36 (Cx36) are widely expressed in the mammalian CNS and form electrical synapses between neurons. Here we describe a novel modulatory mechanism of Cx36 GJ channels dependent on intracellular free magnesium ([Mg2+]i). We examined junctional conductance (gj) and its dependence on transjunctional voltage (Vj)

Investigations of the functional role of connexin36 in sensory and sympathetic systems in adult mice
The FASEB Journal, 2021 Electrical synapses formed by gap junctions composed of connexin36 (Cx36) occur between neurons in widespread areas of the mammalian central nervous system and enable neuron‐to‐neuron electrical coupling. We previously reported that dorsal root ganglia (DRG) sensory neurons containing transient receptor potential (TRP) channels ...

Visual Transmission Deficits in Mice with Targeted Disruption of the Gap Junction Gene Connexin36 [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2001 In the mammalian retina, rods feed into the cone pathway through electrotonic coupling, and recent histological data suggest the involvement of connexin36 (Cx36) in this pathway. We therefore generated Cx36 null mice and monitored the functional consequences of this deficiency on early visual transmission.
