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,

## 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
Prolonged depolarization of isolated, voltageclamped skate retinal horizontal cells produces an outward current that exhibits a late onset and develops slowly with time. This current, which we refer to as the Q-current, is associated with an increase in membrane conductance, and is present when othe
