* Synchronization of the electrical activity of large populations of neurons
* the large populations of neurosecretory neurons that synthesize and release biologically active peptide neurotransmitters and hormones are extensively connected by electrical synapses
* brainstem neurons involved in breathing
* Synchronization may be required for neuronal development, including the development of chemical synapses
* Synchronization may be important in functions that require instantaneous responses, such as reflexes and pacemakers
