Electrical synapses enable neural circuits to perform as coincidence detectors. Dapino and Curti show that the temporal precision of this operation is critically determined by voltage-dependent conductances of the soma and proximal axon. rupress.org/jgp/article/...

Really happy about this paper getting published, where we muse on some of the finer aspects of the permeablized fiber mechanics technique. Have things you wished were covered? Go write one of these up to! Science is better when we all share our "institutional knowledge"!
