Protecting the nerve terminals
Maintaining the connections between nerve cells and muscle could help to slow the progression of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
متن کاملNerve terminal damage in cerebral ischemia: greater susceptibility of catecholamine nerve terminals relative to serotonin nerve terminals.
The energy-dependent uptake of (3H)-dopamine (DA), (3H)-norepinephrine (NE) and (3H)-serotonin (5-HT) was measured in synaptosomes isolated from either the whole cerebral hemispheres or the striata of gerbils after cerebral ischemia. Ischemic stroke was induced in the Mongolian gerbil by left common carotid ligation. Uptake values in the affected hemisphere (expressed as a percent of the corres...
متن کاملMolecular circuitry of endocytosis at nerve terminals.
Presynaptic terminals are specialized compartments of neurons responsible for converting electrical signals into secreted chemicals. This self-renewing process of chemical synaptic transmission is accomplished by the calcium-triggered fusion of neurotransmitter-containing vesicles with the plasma membrane and subsequent retrieval and recycling of vesicle components. Whereas the release of neuro...

متن کاملLocalization of Calcium in Presynaptic Nerve Terminals
Ultrastructural techniques and electron probe microanalysis were used to determine whether or not the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) within presynaptic nerve terminals is a Ca-sequestering site . The three-dimensional structure of the SER was determined from serial sections of synaptosomes. The SER consists of flattened cisterns that may branch and are frequently juxtaposed to mitochondria ...
