Opening of pannexin and connexin based-channels increases the excitability of nodose ganglion sensory neurons.

Opening of pannexin and connexin based-channels increases the excitability of nodose ganglion sensory neurons.

Satellite glial cells (SGCs) are the main glia in sensory ganglia. They surround neuronal bodies and form a cap that prevents the formation of chemical or electrical synapses between neighboring neurons. SGCs have been suggested to establish bidirectional paracrine communication with sensory neurons...
