Nonlinear Gap Junctions Enable Long-Distance Propagation of Pulsating Calcium Waves in Astrocyte Networks

Figure 5

Propagation patterns for linear (a, b) and non-linear sigmoidal (c, d) gap junctions.

The astrocyte chain was composed of 12 AFM astrocytes. Stimulus protocol and other parameters as in Figure 3.
