Loss of Ephaptic Contacts in the Murine Thalamus during Osmotic Demyelination Syndrome

CONCLUSION: Ephapses contained C × 36between intact or ODS injured neurons in the thalamus appeared to be resilient beyond the core degraded tissue injuries. These could maintain intercellular ionic and metabolite exchanges between these lesser injured regions and, thus, would partake to some brain plasticity repairs.PMID:37477534 | DOI:10.1080/01913123.2023.2232452
