## Abstract Gap junctions contribute to important functions of communicating glial cells in brain physiology and pathology. Endothelins (ETs), a vasoactive family of peptides present in the brain, have been described as potent inhibitors of astrocyte gap junctional communication. Through dye‐coupli

## Abstract Gap junctions are specialized transmembrane channels that allow rapid electrical signalling and direct intercellular communication for maintenance and coordination of normal cellular activities and homeostasis. Although gap junction channels in the nervous system mediate intercellular c
