Electrical Synapses – Gap Junctions in the Brain
In the nervous system, interneuronal communication can occur via indirect or direct transmission. The mode of indirect communication involves... -
The vertebrate connexin family
Connexins are chordate-specific transmembrane proteins that can form gap junctional channels between adjacent cells. With the progress in vertebrate...

Gap Junctions
Gap junctions provide one of the most common forms of intercellular communication. The structures underlying these communicating cell junctions1 were... -
Gene expression profiling of Spodoptera frugiperda hemocytes and fat body using cDNA microarray reveals polydnavirus-associated variations in lepidopteran host genes transcript levels
BackgroundGenomic approaches provide unique opportunities to study interactions of insects with their pathogens. We developed a cDNA microarray to...

A dye mixture (Neurobiotin and Alexa 488) reveals extensive dye-coupling among neurons in leeches; physiology confirms the connections
Although the neuronal circuits that generate leech movements have been studied for over 30 years, the list of interneurons (INs) in these circuits...

Evolution of the Transporting Epithelium Phenotype
Metazoans and transporting epithelia (TE) kept a strict correlation throughout evolution because a cell lodged in an intimate tissue and surrounded... -
Embryonic electrical connections appear to prefigure a behavioral circuit in the leech CNS
During development, many embryos show electrical coupling among neurons that is spatially and temporally regulated. For example, in vertebrate...

Dye-coupling visualizes networks of large-field motion-sensitive neurons in the fly
In the fly, visually guided course control is accomplished by a set of 60 large-field motion-sensitive neurons in each brain hemisphere. These...
