When microscopy and electrophysiology meet connectomics—Steve Massey’s contribution to unraveling the structure and function of the rod/cone gap junction
Electrical synapses, formed of gap junctions, are ubiquitous components of the central nervous system (CNS) that shape neuronal circuit connectivity and dynamics. In the retina, electrical synapses can create a circuit, control the signal-to-noise ratio in individual neurons, and support the coordin...
