- W69173604 abstract "The structure of the compound eye of dipteran insects provides a unique preparation for investigation of functional coupling by gap junctions in photoreceptor axon terminals in an intact animal. Axon terminals of individual photoreceptors converge and synapse onto a pair of cells that form a visual element. These terminals are electrically coupled by gap junctions. Characterization of the nature of the photoreceptor input at this synapse is a prerequisite to understanding how the stimulus is encoded by a visual element. Control of coupling is imperative to isolate individual photoreceptor cells and preserve their optical disparity. An anatomical substrate that possibly underlies hyperacuity in this animal is shown by optically staining the photoreceptor mosaic in the retina. Although photoreceptor axon terminals are electrically coupled, their gap junctions do not allow dye coupling of the cells. The hypothesis that the gap junctions are voltage sensitive was tested by adaptation of the animal to light or darkness and by injection of depolarizing and hyperpolarizing current directly into the recorded axon terminal after dye injection. Control of the gap junctions by calcium concentration or pH in the terminal was tested by injection of buffers into the terminal. Ongoing experiments will better define these differences and dissect the control mechanism of electrical coupling of photoreceptor axon terminals in a complex but highly structured region of the nervous system." @default.
