Here is the first effort in a single volume to cover all of the integrative functions of calcium signalling - how changes in intracellular calcium coordinate a variety of coherent cellular responses. Written by a team of internationally established researchers, Integrative Aspects of Calcium Signalling provides the latest experimental data and concepts, bringing together a detailed analysis of the events, processes, and functions regulated by calcium signalling. A unique resource for professionals and students of physiology, biophysics, neurobiology, biochemistry, and all related fields.
This book contains an updated discussion of the most relevant theoretical and methodological aspects, as well as the most important findings of biolinguistics. This field of linguistics is specifically concerned with the biological aspects of language. In doing so, the volume takes a timely look at the different angles of biolinguistics research, in particular considering its multidisciplinary, technical, theoretical, and applied approaches. The volume provides a comprehensive, in-depth, and state-of-the-art overview of the biolinguistics quest, bringing together the most outstanding contributions on exciting subfields such as language evolution, language acquisition, neuro- and psycholinguistics, or clinical linguistics.
GABAergic neurons provide most of the inhibitory drive of adult networks and play major roles in the integrative properties of brain networks. Alterations of GABAergic signals are associated with major neurological disorders and GABA mimetic drugs are widely used as comfort molecules and to treat several brain disorders. Thus, the inhibitory drive is altered in epilepsies, infantile developmentally related disorders but also Parkinson disease, and anoxo-ischemic insults to just name a few. From the developmental stand point, GABAergic neurons mature before principal neurons and provide an important source of early activities and are thus instrumental in activity dependent modulation of the c...
Recent Progress in Hormone Research, Volume 50: Proceedings of the 1993 Laurentian Hormone Conference focuses on the advancements of processes, methodologies, techniques, and approaches involved in hormone research. The selection first offers information on the molecular design of the NMDA receptor channel; synthesis and signaling of growth hormone-releasing hormone; and signaling mechanisms during the response of pituitary gonadotropes to GnRH. The discussions focus on calcium economy of gonadotropes, role of oscillations, structure and expression of the GHRH gene, transgenic animal models for GHRH action, and functional determinants in NMDA receptors. The text then elaborates on signaling ...
This volume brings together an interdisciplinary group of scientists working with different neurotransmitter receptors and ion channels to discuss how the large amount of information obtained from molecular cloning can be used to advance knowledge of cell and tissue function. It documents the physiological roles of ion channels and receptors, including the functional analysis of subunit composition, role of associated proteins, functional alalysis of native and expressed channels, and physiological and pharmacological investigations of animal models in which specific channels are eliminated or altered.
