Abstract excerpt
Gap junction coupling between neurons is important for the temporal and spatial co-ordination of neocortical development and can be visualised by dye-coupling. Neuronal dye-coupling in the rat neocortex is extensive during the first 2 postnatal weeks and diminishes rapidly thereafter. We used RT (reverse transcriptase)-PCR to investigate the time-related changes in mRNA expression for the connexins (Cx) Cx 26, Cx...
