Gap junctions are involved in the early generation of left-right asymmetry.
Invariant left-right asymmetry of the visceral organs is a fundamental feature of vertebrate embryogenesis. While a cascade of asymmetrically expressed genes has been described, the embryonic mechanism that orients the left-right axis relative to the dorsoventral and anteroposterior axes (a prerequisite for asymmetric gene expression) is unknown. We propose that this process involves dorsoventr...
متن کاملGap junctions of the hippocampal CA1 area are crucial for memory consolidation
Introduction: Gap junctions are specialized cell–cell contacts between eukaryotic cells through which they communicate. This type of communication has the potential to modulate memory process. We evaluated the effects of the gating of the hippocampal CA1 area gap junction channels on memory consolidation, using passive avoidance task. Materials and Methods: 72 adult male Wistar rats were distri...
متن کاملGeneration Gap and its Effective Socio-cultural Factors Involved among the Students of Andimeshk I.A.U
This research studies the generation gap among the students at Andimeshk Islamic Azad University. More than 305 people were chosen by Cochran Formula in the study. The dependent variable was divided to four dimensions social, cultural, political and economic. The obtained mean of the study shows there is a meaningful difference between students and their parents (fathers and mothers). It also s...
متن کاملGap junctions in the ventral hippocampal-medial prefrontal pathway are involved in anxiety regulation.
Anxiety disorders are highly prevalent but little is known about their underlying mechanisms. Gap junctions exist in brain regions important for anxiety regulation, such as the ventral hippocampus (vHIP) and mPFC, but their functions in these areas have not been investigated. Using pharmacological blockade of neuronal gap junctions combined with electrophysiological recordings, we found that ga...
متن کاملInternalized gap junctions are degraded by autophagy
Direct intercellular communication mediated by gap junctions (GJs) is a hallmark of normal cell and tissue physiology. In addition, GJs significantly contribute to physical cell-cell adhesion. Clearly, these cellular functions require precise modulation. Typically, GJs represent arrays of hundreds to thousands of densely packed channels, each one assembled from two half-channels (connexons), th...
