Electrical coupling and neuronal synchronization in the Mammalian brain. (2004, methodology): “Repetitive logical evidence that at least some spikelets are generated at axo-axonic gap junctions with neighboring cellsfiring of the neurons is still synchronized in the presence of a cocktail of blockers of ligand-gated channels and (Schmitz et al., 2001).”
Timing and efficacy of transmitter release at mossy fiber synapses in the hippocampal network (2006, unknown): “recordings with commercially available tissue slicers were also reported [72]; (3) the use of sucrose-based cutting solutions with reduced Na and Ca concentrations, which further improves tissue preservation during cutting and maintenance of slices [34].”
Neurophysiological and Computational Principles of Cortical Rhythms in Cognition (2010, background): “Traub and colleagues (211, 409, 849, 967, 971) proposed that other connexin subtypes, forming electrical synapses between the axons of excitatory cells, underlie fast oscillations in the hippocampus.”
Rhythms of the brain (2006, background): “Traub and colleagues have presented numerous arguments, computational models, and experimental data in favor of axonal gap junctions (Schmitz et al., 2001; Traub et al., 2002, 2003, 2004).”
A connectome of a learning and memory center in the adult Drosophila brain (2017, background): “For example, in mammalian systems, axo-axonal gap junction coupling can synchronize firing between neurons (Traub et al., 2003; Schmitz et al., 2001).”
