Notes:
An extensive system of gap or nexus junctions has been found between astrocytic processes in the neuropil of the lateral hypothalamic area in the albino rat. These specialized interastrocytic junctions occur in regions of high synaptic density where neural processes are separated by the interconnected glial system. In this study, 90% of the gap junctions observed in the lateral hypothalamic neuropil are in the immediate proximity of synaptic terminals. The close morphological relationship of these glial gap junctions with synaptic contacts suggests that they may play a significant role in the process of synaptic transmission.
