This suggests that the astrocytes, with their extensive gap junction connections, could underlie barrage firing.
These complexities must be interpreted in the context of the fact that recordings were obtained from single astrocytes in a network generated by their gap junction connections.
Yizhen has so far mapped the gap junction connections made by a specific type of light sensitive neuron to other neurons in the retina.
The synchronized firing of FSIs are found to be critical in this mechanism and specifically the gap junction connections between FSIs.
Based on this success, she will now work on mapping the gap junction connections of the other types of light sensitive neurons.
These results suggest that particulate scaffolds releasing HGF and IGF-1 may be beneficial for applications in tissue-engineering strategies for myocardial repair and the association with a P407 hydrogel can increase substrate elasticity and junction connections in ADSCs.
In wild-type Caenorhabditis elegans, the synapse from motor neuron M4 to pharyngeal terminal bulb (TB) muscles is silent, and the muscles are instead excited by gap junction connections from adjacent muscles.
Whereas, in the neocortex, there is proof that pyramidal neurons lose possibly all their gap junction connections as networks mature (Yu et al. 2012), in the hypothalamus of adult rats, small clusters of CA3 neurons have been identified by dye injection experiments (MacVicar and Dudek 1980).
DVC has most synaptic or gap junction connections (Chen et al., 2006; White et al., 1986) with the backward locomotion command interneuron AVA, the motor neurons AVL and DVB required for anterior body contraction and expulsion muscle contraction in the defecation motor program, and the VC egg-laying motor neurons.
The performance of the Y-graft design is compared to two designs used in current practice: a t-junction connection of the venae cavae and an offset between the inferior and superior venae cavae.
