Fig. 8From: Stochastic Hybrid Systems in Cellular NeuroscienceElectrical coupling via gap junctions. (a) Schematic diagram of gap junction coupling between two cells. (b) Schematic illustration of a Cx43 gap junction channel containing fast (arrow with square) and slow (arrow with hexagon) gates. Voltage gating is mediated by both fast and slow gating mechanisms. Chemical gating is mediated by the slow gating mechanism in both hemichannelsBack to article page
