Channelopathies

Channelopathies are a heterogeneous group of disorders resulting from the dysfunction of ion channels located in the membranes of all cells and many cellular organelles. These include diseases of the nervous system (e.g., generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus, familial hemiplegic migraine, episodic ataxia, and hyperkalemic and hypokalemic periodic paralysis), the cardiovascular system...

Rezeptorszintigraphie in der Neurologie

Receptor Imaging in Neurology. One of the most interesting fields of nuclear medicine is the investigation of brain receptors, for daily routine as well as for scientific questions. Most relevant results have been obtained by investigating dopamine transporters (DAT) or

Neurological channelopathies.

Ion channels are membrane-bound proteins that perform key functions in virtually all human cells. Such channels are critically important for the normal function of the excitable tissues of the nervous system, such as muscle and brain. Until relatively recently it was considered that dysfunction of ion channels in the nervous system would be incompatible with life. However, an increasing number ...
