Electrical synapses are the neurophysiological product of gap junctional pores between
neurons that allow bidirectional flow of current between neurons. They are expressed …

Electrical synapses are neuronal gap junctions that are ubiquitous across brain regions and
species. The biophysical properties of most electrical synapses are relatively simple …

Insect asynchronous flight is one of the most prevalent forms of animal locomotion used by
more than 600,000 species. Despite profound insights into the motor patterns …

In the central nervous system (CNS), connexin (Cx) s and pannexin (Panx) s are an integral
component of homeostatic neuronal excitability and synaptic plasticity. Neuronal Cx gap …

The incidence of brain pathologies has increased during last decades. Better diagnosis
(autism spectrum disorders) and longer life expectancy (Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's …

The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) inhibits sensory thalamocortical relay neurons and is a
key regulator of sensory attention as well as sleep and wake states. Recent developments …

Key points The thalamus is a structure critical for information processing and transfer to the
cortex. Thalamic reticular neurons are inhibitory cells interconnected by electrical synapses …

Gap junctions mediate electrical synaptic transmission between neurons. While the actions
of neurotransmitter modulators on the conductance of gap junctions have been extensively …

The occurrence of intercellular channels formed by pannexin1 has been challenged for
more than a decade. Here, we provide an electrophysiological characterization of …

As our understanding of the thalamocortical system deepens, the questions we face become
more complex. Their investigation requires the adoption of novel experimental approaches …
