While the article explains that the excitable British press has gone ballistic over the NSA's refusal to share the files' contents, the real story is the NSA practice of monitoring electronic transmissions around the globe and screening them for targeted search terms like "Saddam Hussein."
Less is known about the effects of carbenoxolone on GJs, although it has been proposed that glycyrrhetinic acid, to which carbenoxolone is related, binds directly to connexin molecules causing a conformational change leading to a closure of the junction [ 7 ] . Modeling studies indicate that neuronal synchronization can be mediated by low densities of GJs either between dendrites, as long as these dendrites are excitable [ 10 ] , or between the axons of pyramidal cells [ 11 ] . Furthermore, the electrotonic coupling could be promoted during epileptogenesis [ 12 13 ] .
The initial MTX-induced increase in [Ca 2+] i reflects the activation of a Ca 2+-permeable non-selective cation channel (CaNSC) [ 1 4 5 6 7 8 ] . This channel, which has a reported conductance in the range of 12-40 pS depending on ionic conditions [ 5 9 10 11 ] , causes rapid membrane depolarization, which in excitable cells, leads to activation of voltage-sensitive channels.
