Extracellular pH changes may constitute significant signals for neuronal communication. During synaptic transmission, changes in pH in the synaptic cleft take place. Its role in the regulation of presynaptic Ca2+ currents ...

-Aminocarboxylic acid derivatives (LINS04 series) were screened with the aim to explore their potential functional role in excitatory synaptic transmission in the central nervous system. We used field recordings in rat ...

Wnt signaling is essential for neuronal development and the maintenance of the developing nervous system. Recent studies indicated that Wnt signaling modulates long term potentiation in adult hippocampal slices. We report ...

An important neurologic process consists in a time dependent transmission of the electric signal between neurons. The description of such signal is the objective of this work. In this way, the Fokker-Planck equation with ...

Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) regulate synaptic activities and play important roles in neurodegenerative diseases. It has been reported that homomeric ASIC-1a channels are expressed in neurons of the medial nucleus of ...
