Department of Biological Sciences, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA, United States Electrical synapses are the neurophysiological product of gap junctional pores between neurons that allow ...
Electrical synapses (IMAGE)
Electrical synapses connect neurons in almost all brains; however, little is known about them. A study now shows for the first time where these specific synapses occur in the fruit fly brain and ...
Seeing is relieving: electrical synapses between visualized neurons
Two reports of electrical synapses between identified inhibitory neurons in the neocortex suggest that many neuron types known to communicate chemically may also be electrically coupled.
Synaptic transmission
and neurotransmitter binding to specific post-synaptic receptors. Electrical synapse transmission involves the transfer of electrical signals through gap junctions.
Brain tumors form synapses with healthy neurons
The tumors, called high-grade gliomas, form synapses that hijack electrical signals from healthy nerve cells to drive their own growth. Experiments demonstrated that interrupting these signals with an ...
A new framework describing the formation and development of learning-related dendritic spines
synapses that increase the likelihood of action potential firing in neurons. Action potentials are changes in electrical potential that are linked to the passage of impulses on the membranes of ...
Possibility of changing the identity of synapses between neurons : Study
are sending rapid-fire electrical signals between each other, transmitting information. They're doing so via tiny, specialized junctions between them called synapses. There are many different types of ...

A Unique Neural Microcircuit in the Ventromedial Hypothalamus Microcircuit
They discovered that the early developmental stage features dense electrical coupling. In contrast, the adult VMH is characterized by sparse chemical synapses as well as prominent neuropeptide ...
