They accomplish these functions in part via their capacity to form widespread intercellular networks and to release neuroactive factors, which can modulate neurotransmission at different levels, from individual synapses to neuronal networks. The extensive network communication of astrocytes is primarily mediated by gap junction channels composed of two connexins, Cx30 and Cx43, which present distinct temporal and spatial expression patterns. Yet, astroglial connexins are also involved in direct exchange with the extracellular space via hemichannels, as well as in adhesion and signaling processes via unconventional nonchannel functions. Accumulating evidence indicate that astrocytes modulate neurotransmission and behavior through these diverse connexin functions. We here review the many ways astroglial connexins regulate neuronal activity from the molecular level to behavior.Understanding three-dimensional cardiac anatomy is fundamental for the practice of clinical cardiology. However, if three-dimensional images are displayed on two-dimensional monitors, they fail to provide depth perception. Currently, novel technologies, including the three-dimensional printing, three-dimensional monitors/projectors, and virtual reality applications can provide real three-dimensionality with depth perception. However, their relatively high cost and limited user-friendliness prevent their wide application. We introduce novel and commercially available holographic display, which allows multiple observers to see the full-color holographic images simultaneously without any specific glasses and headgear. This leading-edge technology is immediately applicable in both educational and clinical settings.The present review summarizes the current knowledge concerning physiological effects of resveratrol
