Antidromic-rectifying gap junctions amplify chemical transmission at functionally mixed electrical-chemical synapses
Neurons communicate through chemical synapses and electrical synapses (gap junctions). Although these two types of synapses often coexist between neurons, little is known about whether they interact, and whether any interactions between them are important to controlling synaptic strength and circuit functions. By studying chemical and electrical synapses between premotor interneurons (AVA) and ...
متن کاملConnexin35 mediates electrical transmission at mixed synapses on Mauthner cells.
Auditory afferents terminating as "large myelinated club endings" on goldfish Mauthner cells are identifiable "mixed" (electrical and chemical) synaptic terminals that offer the unique opportunity to correlate physiological properties with biochemical composition and specific ultrastructural features of individual synapses. By combining confocal microscopy and freeze-fracture replica immunogold...
متن کاملQuantifying Repetitive Transmission at Chemical Synapses: A Generative-Model Approach123
The dependence of the synaptic responses on the history of activation and their large variability are both distinctive features of repetitive transmission at chemical synapses. Quantitative investigations have mostly focused on trial-averaged responses to characterize dynamic aspects of the transmission--thus disregarding variability--or on the fluctuations of the responses in steady conditions...
متن کاملChemical synaptic activity modulates nearby electrical synapses.
Most electrically coupled neurons also receive numerous chemical synaptic inputs. Whereas chemical synapses are known to be highly dynamic, gap junction-mediated electrical transmission often is considered to be less modifiable and variable. By using simultaneous pre- and postsynaptic recordings, we demonstrate at single mixed electrical and chemical synapses that fast chemical transmission int...
متن کاملThe synapse: from electrical to chemical transmission.
The controversy as to whether synaptic transmission in the central nervous system is electrical or chemical played a key role in the origin of modern neuroscience, and I shall attempt to give it a historical perspective. Almost 100 years ago (1886--1890) it was recognized by several neuroanatomists, including His, Ford, and Ram6n y Cajal, that nerve cells or neurons were independent biological ...
