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 …

Electrical synapses: cellular morphology and identification of connexins in the mouse retina
Das Ziel meiner Dissertation war die Zahl der deplatzierten Amakrinzelltypen (DAZ), die Identifikation der Cx45-exprimierenden Amakrinzellen (AZ) und Cx30.2-exprimierenden Ganglienzellen (GZ) zu erforschen. Außerdem wurde die Lokalisation von Cx57 in den Horizontalzellen (HZ) untersucht. Gefunden …

The Role of Retinoic Acid in the Formation and Modulation of Invertebrate Electrical Synapses
… system is dependent upon structures known as synapses. Synapses are broadly characterized as either chemical or electrical in nature, owing to the type of signals that are transmitted across them. Factors that can affect chemical synapses have been extensively studied. However, the factors …

Network activity arising from optimal diameters of neuronal processes
Electrical coupling provides an important pathway for signal transmission between neurons. In several regions of the mammalian brain electrical synapses have been detected, and their role in the synchronization of neural networks and the generation of oscillations has been studied theoretically. …

Genetic Functional Dissection of the Synaptic Output of a Dual-Function Integrating Neuron
… class. I also find that both RIM chemical synapses and electrical synapses are bidirectional regulators of C. elegans locomotion, stabilizing both the forward state and reversal state. I conclude that RIM is a dual-function neuron, able to both promote and inhibit reversal behavior.</p>

Signaling Mechanisms That Control Gap Junctional Coupling Between Retinal Neurons
… neurons form the structural substrate for electrical synapses. Connexin 36 (Cx36, and its non-mammalian ortholog connexin 35) is the major neuronal gap junction protein in the central nervous system (CNS), and contributes to several important neuronal functions including neuronal …

Sensory Coding and Olfactory Integration in Caenorhabditis Elegans
… the AWA sensory neurons. AWA forms chemical and electrical synapses onto several interconnected interneurons, which contribute to chemotaxis toward attractive odors like diacetyl. One AWA target is the interneuron AIA, which is connected to AWA via a putative electrical synapse. Both AWA and AIA …

Turnover Rate of The Neuronal Connexin Cx36 In Hela Cells
<p>Electrical synapses formed of the gap junction protein Cx36 show a great deal of functional plasticity, much dependent on changes in phosphorylation state of the connexin. However, gap junction turnover may also be important for regulating cell-cell communication, and turnover rates of Cx36 have …
