Hippocampal sharp wave‐ripple: A cognitive biomarker for episodic memory and planning (2015, background): “Non-connexin type electrical junctions, such as Pannexin 1 and 2 (Bruzzone et al., 2003) may, in principle, play a role but, to date, their physiological role in the hippocampus is unknown.”
Electrical coupling and neuronal synchronization in the Mammalian brain. (2004, background): “…of degeneration in the X-linked form of a peripheral neuropathy, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (Abrams et al.,in this family, a proposal resisted by Bruzzone et al. (2003), who retain innexin for the protostome line of 2001; Scherer et al., 1999), and the same mechanism in oligodendrocytes may…”
The Family of Connexin Genes (2009, background): “While pannexins can form channels connecting the cytoplasm and extracellular space analogous to connexin hemichannels [11,12,13], it is not clear that they form intercellular channels except in certain overexpression systems [11,14,15] (see Chapter 12).”
