A new measure for the strength of electrical synapses [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Electrical synapses, like chemical synapses, mediate intraneuronal communication. Electrical synapses are typically quantified by subthreshold measurements of coupling, which fall short in describing their impact on spiking activity in coupled neighbors.

The ever-changing electrical synapse. [PDF]
Curr Opin Neurobiol, 2014 A wealth of research has revealed that electrical synapses in the central nervous system exhibit a high degree of plasticity. Several recent studies, particularly in the retina and inferior olive, highlight this plasticity. Three classes of mechanisms can alter electrical coupling over time courses ranging from milliseconds to days. Changes of membrane

ELECTRICAL SYNAPSES IN THE MAMMALIAN BRAIN [PDF]
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2004 ▪ Abstract Many neurons in the mammalian central nervous system communicate through electrical synapses, defined here as gap junction–mediated connections. Electrical synapses are reciprocal pathways for ionic current and small organic molecules. They are often strong enough to mediate close synchronization of subthreshold and spiking activity among ...

Adaptive neural information processing with dynamical electrical synapses
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2013 The present study investigates a potential computational role of dynamical electrical synapses in neural information process. Compared with chemical synapse, electrical synapse is more efficient in modulating the concerted activity of neurons.

Short-term synaptic plasticity regulates the level of olivocochlear inhibition to auditory hair cells [PDF]
, 2011 In the mammalian inner ear, the gain control of auditory inputs is exerted by medial olivocochlear (MOC) neurons that innervate cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs).
