Voltage-gated calcium channels

WA Catterall - Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in …, 2011 - cshperspectives.cshlp.org
Voltage-gated calcium (Ca2+) channels are key transducers of membrane potential
changes into intracellular Ca2+ transients that initiate many physiological events. There are …

Short-term synaptic plasticity

RS Zucker, WG Regehr - Annual review of physiology, 2002 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract Synaptic transmission is a dynamic process. Postsynaptic responses wax and
wane as presynaptic activity evolves. This prominent characteristic of chemical synaptic …

The medial frontal cortex and the rapid processing of monetary gains and losses

WJ Gehring, AR Willoughby - Science, 2002 - science.org
We report the observation of neural processing that occurs within 265 milliseconds after
outcome stimuli that inform human participants about gains and losses in a gambling task. A …

Short-term presynaptic plasticity

WG Regehr - Cold Spring Harbor perspectives in biology, 2012 - cshperspectives.cshlp.org
Different types of synapses are specialized to interpret spike trains in their own way by virtue
of the complement of short-term synaptic plasticity mechanisms they possess. Numerous …

Multiple roles of calcium ions in the regulation of neurotransmitter release

E Neher, T Sakaba - Neuron, 2008 - cell.com
The intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca 2+]) has important roles in the triggering of
neurotransmitter release and the regulation of short-term plasticity (STP). Transmitter …

[HTML][HTML] Calcium channel regulation and presynaptic plasticity

WA Catterall, AP Few - Neuron, 2008 - cell.com
Voltage-gated calcium (Ca 2+) channels initiate release of neurotransmitters at synapses,
and regulation of presynaptic Ca 2+ channels has a powerful influence on synaptic strength …

Short-term forms of presynaptic plasticity

D Fioravante, WG Regehr - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2011 - Elsevier
Synapses exhibit several forms of short-term plasticity that play a multitude of computational
roles. Short-term depression suppresses neurotransmitter release for hundreds of …

[HTML][HTML] Released fraction and total size of a pool of immediately available transmitter quanta at a calyx synapse

R Schneggenburger, AC Meyer, E Neher - Neuron, 1999 - cell.com
The size of a pool of readily releasable vesicles at a giant brainstem synapse, the calyx of
Held, was probed with three independent approaches. Using simultaneous pre-and …

Dynamic control of presynaptic Ca2+ inflow by fast-inactivating K+ channels in hippocampal mossy fiber boutons

JRP Geiger, P Jonas - Neuron, 2000 - cell.com
Abstract Analysis of presynaptic determinants of synaptic strength has been difficult at
cortical synapses, mainly due to the lack of direct access to presynaptic elements. Here we …
