Inhibition potentiates the synchronizing action of electrical synapses [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2007 In vivo and in vitro experimental studies have found that blocking electrical interactions connecting GABAergic interneurons reduces oscillatory activity in the µ range in cortex.

A Direct Comparison of Different Measures for the Strength of Electrical Synapses [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 During the last decades it became increasingly evident that electrical synapses are capable of activity-dependent plasticity. However, measuring the actual strength of electrical transmission remains difficult.

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 ...

A genetically encoded reporter of synaptic activity in vivo [PDF]
, 2009 To image synaptic activity within neural circuits, we tethered the genetically encoded calcium indicator (GECI) GCaMP2 to synaptic vesicles by fusion to synaptophysin. The resulting reporter, SyGCaMP2, detected the electrical activity of neurons with two

Mutations in shaking-B prevent electrical synapse formation in the Drosophila giant fiber system [PDF]
, 1996 The giant fiber system (GFS) is a simple network of neurons that mediates visually elicited escape behavior in Drosophila. The giant fiber (GF), the major component of the system, is a large, descending interneuron that relays visual stimuli to the ...
