Gap Junctions
Gap junctions provide a conduit for electrical communication between neurons and therefore their position along neuronal processes is of great importance. The UBM students did experimental recordings from two gap-junctionally coupled identical neurons and used injected dc and ac currents of various frequencies, along with computational models to predict the location of gap junctions along the neurons' branches.
