Gap Junctions in the Nervous System: Probing Functional Connections Using New Imaging Approaches

Gap junctions are channels that physically connect adjacent cells, mediating the rapid exchange of small molecules, and playing an essential role in a wide range of physiological processes in nearly every system in the body, including the nervous system. Thus, altered function of gap junctions has b...
