The Variable Strength of Electrical Synapses [PDF]
Neuron, 2016 In contrast to chemical synapses, less is known regarding the determinants of the strength of electrical synapses. New evidence from Szoboszlay et al. (2016) shows that the number of gap junctions is the dominant factor underlying the strength of electrical coupling between cerebellar interneurons.

Dendritic spines as chemical and electrical compartments : a two-photon imaging study in the hippocampus of the rat [PDF]
, 2008 Most excitatory synapses are located on small dendritic protrusions called spines. So far, the function of dendritic spines is not fully understood. Imaging experiments have shown that spines can compartmentalize second messengers such as Ca2+.

Electrical synapse structure requires distinct isoforms of a postsynaptic scaffold.
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.

The ever-changing electrical synapse [PDF]
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 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

Adenosine A1 receptor activation mediates the developmental shift at layer 5 pyramidal cell synapses and is a determinant of mature synaptic strength [PDF]
, 2013 During the first postnatal month glutamatergic synapses between layer 5 pyramidal cells in the rodent neocortex switch from an immature state exhibiting high probability of neurotransmitter release, large unitary amplitude and synaptic depression to a ...
