Gatekeeper Connexin43 Phosphorylation Events Regulate Cardiac Gap Junction Coupling During Stress
… the myocardium is essential to each heartbeat. Gap junctions comprising primarily Cx43 reside within the intercalated discs connecting cardiomyocytes, effecting not only direct intercellular electrical coupling, but the localization of other junctional structures and ion channels. Alterations in …

Effects of Perfusate Solution Composition on the Relationship between Cardiac Conduction Velocity and Gap Junction Coupling
… and mice that were heterozygous null for the gap junction (GJ) forming protein, Connexin 43. While the results of the comparison study showed differing extracellular ionic concentrations of the perfusates, specifically sodium, potassium, and calcium ([Na+]o, [K+]o, and [Ca2+]o), there was a …

Auditory Processing Deficits in MSH2-KO mice are linked to Aberrant Inhibitory Neuron Function in the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus
… in the TRN, as well as high aggregation of the gap junction protein connexin-36 (Cx36). Cx36 is required for electrical coupling between TRN neurons, regulating the degree of synchrony in firing patterns. This indicates that Cx36- expressing PV<sup>+</sup> cells in the TRN undergo increased gap …

Regulation of ageing by electrical synapses in the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
Electrical synapses formed by gap junctions are abundant in nervous systems and critical for brain function. They allow not only the exchange of ions, but also of metabolites and second messengers and have been implicated in the transmission of damage or death signals between cells. However, it was …

Structural and functional heterogeneity of cells in the rat hippocampus
… dynamic and their connectivity through gap-junction coupling increases significantly from day to nighttime, 5) ML/DG astrocytes display larger cell body volumes during the day than the nighttime, with no significant diurnal difference in the dry mass, 6) the oligodendrocyte precursor …
