A striking example of neuronal synchronization occurs in the mammalian main olfactory bulb where mitral cells that project to the same glomerular unit display highly synchronized spike activity. In this issue of Neuron, Christie et al. use mice deficient for the gap junction protein connexin36 (Cx36) to demonstrate that Cx36-mediated electrical coupling underlies such synchrony.
神经元同步的一个显著例子发生在哺乳动物的主嗅球中，投射到同一肾小球单位的二尖瓣细胞表现出高度同步的峰电位活动。在本期《神经元》杂志中，克里斯蒂等人利用缺乏间隙连接蛋白连接蛋白36（Cx36）的小鼠来证明，Cx36介导的电耦合是这种同步性的基础。
