abstract：:Ca2+ entry into neurons is one of the major effectors of stimulus-induced physiological change. Ca2+ can enter neurons through a number of different voltage-gated and ligand-gated channels. Depending on the route of entry, Ca2+ stimulates distinct intracellular signaling pathways, which activate different sets of gene...
