ADENOSINE IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
Besides being a metabolite of nucleotides like ATP, adenosine is a mediator of neuronal function in the central nervous system. Its actions are mediated by at least three extracellular receptors. In this review different aspects of adenosine such as biosynthesis, release, inactivation and its receptors are discussed. It also covers pre- and postsynaptic effects as well as postreceptor mecha...
متن کاملDelay adaptation in the nervous system
Time delays are ubiquitous in the nervous system. Empirical "ndings suggest that time delays are adapted when considering the synchronous activity of neurons. We introduce a framework for studying the dynamics of self-organized delay adaptation in systems which optimize coincidence of inputs. The framework comprises two families of delay adaptation mechanisms, delay shift and delay selection. F...
متن کاملCalcium homeostasis in the central nervous system: adaptation to neurodegeneration
Here we review the results of our recent studies on neurodegeneration together with data on cerebral calcium precipitation in animal models and humans, A model that integrates the diversity of mechanisms involved in neurodegeneration is presented and discussed based on the functional relevance of calcium precipitation,
متن کاملSpike Frequency Adaptation in Neurons of the Central Nervous System
Neuronal firing patterns and frequencies determine the nature of encoded information of the neurons. Here we discuss the molecular identity and cellular mechanisms of spike-frequency adaptation in central nervous system (CNS) neurons. Calcium-activated potassium (KCa) channels such as BKCa and SKCa channels have long been known to be important mediators of spike adaptation via generation of a l...
متن کاملP124: Listeriosis in Central Nervous System
Listeriosis is one of the CNS inflammatory diseases which is happened majority in the form of sporadic. Listeriosis is ingested with the food. Infection occurrence in an exposed person depends on the number of organisms ingested, the virulence of the organisms strain and the individual condition. It is known that Listeriosis has decisive importance as an infection which the cellular immunodefen...
