Marked electrical synapses on AP neuron of the leech (Whitmania pigra)

An initial attempt reveals parameters of marked electric synapse on AP perceptive neuron of leech. The width of gap between marked AP and either neuro- or glio-process is 2-3 nm, the diameter of the hexagonal array of connexion is 8-9 nm with a central pole of 2-2.5 nm, the same as the structure of annular lamellar bodies internalized by AP-glia processes in the AP.
