What is the function of the claustrum? (2005, background): “Such 'electrical synapses' interconnect specific types of inhibitory interneurons in the thalamic reticular nucleus and in the cortex (Gibson et al. 1999; Landisman et al. 2002; LeBeau et al. 2003; Bennett & Zukin 2004).”

Synaptic mechanisms of synchronized gamma oscillations in inhibitory interneuron networks (2007, methodology): “Subsequently, paired recording was used to directly reveal that interneurons are coupled by electrical synapse”
Semi-passivity and synchronization of diffusively coupled neuronal oscillators (2009, background): “Recently it has been pointed out that gap-junctions play an important role in synchronization of individual neurons [2].”
