Certain neurons in the mammalian brain have long been known to be joined by gap
junctions, which are the most common type of electrical synapse. More recently, cloning of …

Most neurons in the mammalian CNS encode and transmit information via action potentials.
Knowledge of where these electrical events are initiated and how they propagate within …

Hypersynchronous neuronal firing is a hallmark of epilepsy, but the mechanisms underlying
simultaneous activation of multiple neurons remains unknown. Epileptic discharges are in …

Interictal electroencephalography (EEG) potentials in focal epilepsies are sustained by
synchronous paroxysmal membrane depolarization generated by assemblies of …

Neurons that Fire Together Also Conspire Together: Is Normal Sleep Circuitry Hijacked to
Generate Epilepsy?: Neuron Skip to Main Content Advertisement Neuron This journal offers …

Coherent oscillations, in which ensembles of neurons fire in a repeated and synchronous
manner, are thought to be important in higher brain functions. In the hippocampus, these …

1 Initiation and propagation of action potentials evoked by extracellular synaptic stimulation
was studied using simultaneous dual and triple patch pipette recordings from different …

Summry—Gap junctions are widely expressed in the various cell types of the central
nervous system. These specialized membrane intercellular junctions provide the …

We provide physiological, pharmacological, and structural evidence that axons of
hippocampal principal cells are electrically coupled, with prepotentials or spikelets forming …

Among the 20 proposed members of the connexin family of proteins that form gap junctional
intercellular communication (GJIC) channels in mammalian tissues, over half are reported to …
