Understanding the Molecular and Cell Biological Mechanisms of Electrical Synapse Formation [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2020 In this review article, we will describe the recent advances made towards understanding the molecular and cell biological mechanisms of electrical synapse formation. New evidence indicates that electrical synapses, which are gap junctions between neurons,

Electrical synapse structure requires distinct isoforms of a postsynaptic scaffold. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2023 Electrical synapses are neuronal gap junction (GJ) channels associated with a macromolecular complex called the electrical synapse density (ESD), which regulates development and dynamically modifies electrical transmission.

Long-term potentiation in an innexin-based electrical synapse [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Electrical synapses are formed by two unrelated gap junction protein families, the primordial innexins (invertebrates) or the connexins (vertebrates). Although molecularly different, innexin- and connexin-based electrical synapses are strikingly similar ...

The components of an electrical synapse as revealed by expansion microscopy of a single synaptic contact [PDF]
eLifeMost nervous systems combine both transmitter-mediated and direct cell–cell communication, known as ‘chemical’ and ‘electrical’ synapses, respectively. Chemical synapses can be identified by their multiple structural components.

Isolation of Immunocomplexes from Zebrafish Brain
Bio-Protocol, 2023 Zebrafish is an excellent model to study vertebrate neurobiology, but its synaptic components that mediate and regulate fast electrical synaptic transmission are largely unidentified.

Electrical synaptic transmission requires a postsynaptic scaffolding protein
eLife, 2021 Electrical synaptic transmission relies on neuronal gap junctions containing channels constructed by Connexins. While at chemical synapses neurotransmitter-gated ion channels are critically supported by scaffolding proteins, it is unknown if channels at ...
