An electrical synapse, or gap junction, is a mechanical and electrically conductive synapse, a functional junction between two neighboring neurons. The synapse is formed at a narrow gap …

A more general purpose of electrical synapses is to synchronize electrical activity among populations of neurons. For example, certain hormone-secreting neurons within the …

2021年2月28日 · In an electrical synapse, the presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes are very close together and are actually physically connected by channel proteins forming gap …

2024年11月26日 · Electrical synapses allow the direct flow of electrical current between the two interconnected cells. Specialized gaps in the cell membranes form a cytoplasmic continuity …

2014年3月12日 · The article describes interactions between glutamatergic, dopaminergic and electrical synapses, demonstrating a complex functional inter-relationship between chemical …

Electrical synapses, also called gap junctions, are tightly apposed pores between two cells formed by connexins, which allow direct cytoplasmic exchange, including passage of electric current, …

The electrical synapse (also called the gap junction) is a channel formed of proteins. Electrical synapses form a minority of all synapses and are enriched in specific brain areas—for …

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