Two reports of electrical ... of what cells were at the fracture surface. This approach has demonstrated a high incidence of morphologically mixed synapses, that is, with both gap junctions ...

Central to this activity are synapses, the junctions where branches of neurons connect, similar to electrical wires. Here, an axon from one neuron links to a dendrite of another. At these synapses, ...

An electrical impulse cannot directly cross the gap so a different mechanism has ... to prevent continuous stimulation of postsynaptic neurons. There are two types of removal: Re-uptake ...

In one set of experiments, Yaeger activated synapses on the pyramidal neurons and measured the effect on the cells' ...

Because these tadpoles are transparent and their developmental stage readily identified, we are able to image and record the electrical activity in ... A population of gap junction-coupled neurons ...
