Connexin-43 Gap Junctions Are Responsible for the Hypothalamic Tanycyte-Coupled Network

Tanycytes are hypothalamic radial glia-like cells that form the basal wall of the third ventricle (3V) where they sense glucose and modulate neighboring neuronal activity to control feeding behavior. This role requires the coupling of hypothalamic cells since transient decreased hypothalamic Cx43 ex...
