Answer and Explanation:1 The two fundamental types of synapses are chemical and electrical. Chemical synapses are found in the central nervous system, and they use...
Here we describe a RGC that relies on gap junctions, rather than chemical synapses, to convey its selectivity for the orientation of a visual stimulus. This represents both a new functional role of electrical synapses as the primary drivers of feature selectivity and a new circuit mechanism for ...

Neurons communicate through chemical synapses and electrical synapses (gap junctions). Although these two types of synapses often coexist between neurons, little is known about whether they interact, and whether any interactions between them are importan
Inner hair cells (IHCs) are the primary receptors for hearing. They are housed in the cochlea and convey sound information to the brain via synapses with the auditory nerve. IHCs have been thought to be electrically and metabolically independent from eac
1B, vehicle), suggesting that these cells establish synapses onto the dendrites of hilar cells. Similar staining patterns were observed in PL-treated animals and in the contralateral hippocampus of KA-treated animals. However, in the ipsilateral hippocampus of KA-treated animals, we observed a ...
This notion suggests that electrical synapses could indeed be used to form a ‘core assembly’, with excitatory chemical synapses serving to link one assembly – in directed fashion – to another assembly. Also relevant here are the different spatial scales over which electrical coupling vs. ...

Moreover, we demonstrate that stimulation of one A17 cell can induce electrical and calcium transients in neighboring A17 cells, thus confirming a functional flow of information through electrical synapses in the A17 coupled network. Finally, blocking GJs caused a strong decrease in the amplitude of...
