Abstract

There are two main modalities of communication between neurons, known as electrical and chemical synaptic transmission. Despite striking differences in their underlying mechanisms, new evidence suggests that the formation of electrically and chemically mediated synapses is under common regulatory processes.

摘要

神经元之间有两种主要的通讯方式，分别称为电突触传递和化学突触传递。尽管它们的潜在机制存在显著差异，但新的证据表明，电突触和化学突触的形成受到共同的调节过程的控制。
