Electrical synapse - Open Access .click

Developmental Cell, 2021
Location is of critical functional relevance for synapses, including electrical synapses, which are a form of neuronal communication mediated by cell-cell channels. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Palumbos et al. identify a mechanism that supports the localization and function of electrical synapses with subcellular specificity.

Interaction of anaesthetics with electrical synapses

Nature, 1980
Studies of the interaction of anaesthetics with various preparations, from whole animals to organic solvents, have been continuing since Overton and Meyer found a correlation between anaesthetic potency and solubility in olive oil. Although the physiological basis of anaesthesia is far from clear, one popular hypothesis is that anaesthetics act ...

Gap Junctions as Electrical Synapses

Journal of Neurocytology, 1996
Gap junctions are the morphological substrate of one class of electrical synapse. The history of the debate on electrical vs. chemical transmission is instructive. One lesson is that Occam's razor sometimes cuts too deep; the nervous system does its operations in a number of different ways and a unitarian approach can lead one astray.
