Gap junctions between interneurons are required for normal spatial coding in the hippocampus and short-term spatial memory.
Gap junctions containing connexin 36 electrically couple interneurons in many brain regions and synchronize their activity. We used connexin-36 knock-out mice (Cx36(-/-)) to study the importance of electrical coupling between interneurons for spatial coding in the hippocampus and for different forms...
