Are the presynaptic membrane particles the calcium channels?

Abstract:

:The number of large intramembrane particles associated with sites of synaptic vesicle release at the squid giant synapse was determined and compared to the average maximal presynaptic calcium current in order to derive an estimate of the conductance each particle would have if it were a calcium channel. This value, 0.21 pS, compares favorably with conductances of calcium channels in other preparations, substantiating the idea that the large intramembrane particles, which are concentrated at "active zones," represent calcium channels.

  • The chemokine SDF-1/CXCL12 modulates the firing pattern of vasopressin neurons and counteracts induced vasopressin release through CXCR4.

    abstract::Chemokines play a key role in inflammation. They are expressed not only in neuroinflammatory conditions, but also constitutively by different cell types, including neurons in the normal brain, suggesting that they may act as modulators of neuronal functions. Here, we investigated a possible neuroendocrine role of the ...
