Direct Current-Induced Calcium Trafficking in Different Neuronal Preparations
The influence of direct current (DC) stimulation on radioactive calcium trafficking in sciatic nerve in vivo and in vitro, spinal cord, and synaptosomes was investigated. The exposure to DC enhanced calcium redistribution in all of these preparations. The effect was dependent on the strength of the stimulation and extended beyond the phase of exposure to DC. The DC-induced increase in calcium s...
متن کاملTrafficking of neuronal calcium channels
Neuronal voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) serve complex yet essential physiological functions via their pivotal role in translating electrical signals into intracellular calcium elevations and associated downstream signalling pathways. There are a number of regulatory mechanisms to ensure a dynamic control of the number of channels embedded in the plasma membrane, whereas alteration of th...
متن کاملVoltage-gated calcium channels direct neuronal migration in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Calcium signaling is known to be important for regulating the guidance of migrating neurons, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying this process are not well understood. We have found that two different voltage-gated calcium channels are important for the accurate guidance of postembryonic neuronal migrations in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. In mutants carrying loss-of-function alleles ...
متن کاملCalcium imaging reveals glial involvement in transcranial direct current stimulation-induced plasticity in mouse brain
Transcranical direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a treatment known to ameliorate various neurological conditions and enhance memory and cognition in humans. tDCS has gained traction for its potential therapeutic value; however, little is known about its mechanism of action. Using a transgenic mouse expressing G-CaMP7 in astrocytes and a subpopulation of excitatory neurons, we find that tDCS i...
متن کاملNeuronal Polarity and Trafficking
Among the most morphologically complex cells, neurons are masters of membrane specialization. Nowhere is this more striking than in the division of cellular labor between the axon and the dendrites. In morphology, signaling properties, cytoskeletal organization, and physiological function, axons and dendrites (or more properly, the somatodendritic compartment) are radically different. Such pola...
