Connexin43 Hemichannels in Satellite Glial Cells, Can They Influence Sensory Neuron Activity?

In this review article, we summarize the current insight on the role of Connexin- and Pannexin-based channels as modulators of sensory neurons. The somas of sensory neurons are located in sensory ganglia (i.e., trigeminal and nodose ganglia). It is well known that within sensory ganglia, sensory neu...
