Synaptic Plasticity in Cardiac Innervation and Its Potential Role in Atrial Fibrillation
Synaptic plasticity is defined as the ability of synapses to change their strength of transmission. Plasticity of synaptic connections in the brain is a major focus of neuroscience research, as it is the primary mechanism underpinning learning and memory. Beyond the brain however, plasticity in peripheral neurons is less well understood, particularly in the neurons innervating the heart. The at...

متن کاملCardiac gap junctions and connexins: their role in atrial fibrillation and potential as therapeutic targets.
In the heart, changes in velocity and in patterns of conduction of myocardial electrical activity can affect cardiac rhythm and the coordination of contraction. Abnormal electrical coupling between cardiomyocytes through gap junctions is, therefore, considered an important factor in various pathophysiologic conditions. In the present report we summarize the literature on gap junctions and their...
