Gap junctional communication between glial cells is thought to play a role in K 1 spatial buffering, in the propagation of inter-astrocytic Ca 21 waves, and in glial-neuronal signaling. In the present study, we characterize dye coupling between astrocytes, and between astrocytes and Mu Β¨ller cells,

## Abstract The intracellular Ca^2+^ (Ca^2+^~i~) and the intracellular pH (pH~i~) were measured in identified neuropile glial cells in the central nervous system of the leech __Hirudo medicinalis__, using the fluorescent dye furaβ2, and doubleβbarrelled, neutral carrier, pHβsensitive microelectrode
Glial cells have been shown to respond to neuronal activity with changes in the membrane potential and the intracellular Ca 2Ο© concentration. In order to get closer to glial structures associated with neuronal synapses, we have now looked at Ca 2Ο© signalling in the glial processes (''glial dendrites
The immunohistochemical distribution and ultrastructural immunolocalization of con-nexin43 (Cx43) in the neural retina of the rabbit was investigated. Cx43 immunolabeling appeared in the form of distinct puncta distributed on different kinds of glial cells and exclusively in the myelinated fiber reg
## Gap junctional coupling between progenitor cells of regenerating retina in the adult newt was examined by a slice-patch technique. Retinal slices at the early regeneration stage comprised one to two layers of cells with mitotic activity, progenitor cells. These cells were initially voltage-clamp
