Chemical synapses are heterogeneous junctions formed between neurons that are
specialized for the conversion of electrical impulses into the exocytotic release of …

This review summarises genetic studies in which calcium channel genes have been
connected to the spectrum of neuropsychiatric syndromes, from bipolar disorder and …

Psychiatric disorders are mental, behavioral or emotional disorders. These conditions are
prevalent, one in four adults suffer from any type of psychiatric disorders world-wide. It has …

Calcium influx through voltage-gated Ca (CaV) channels is the first step in synaptic
transmission. This review concerns CaV channels at ribbon synapses in primary sense …

In this review, we summarize studies investigating the types and distribution of voltage-and
calcium-gated ion channels in the different classes of retinal neurons: rods, cones …

Voltage-gated calcium channels are the principal conduits for depolarization-mediated
Ca2+ entry into excitable cells. In this review, the biophysical properties of the relevant …

Light-evoked voltage responses of rod and cone photoreceptor cells in the vertebrate retina
must be converted to a train of synaptic vesicle release events for transmission to …

Neural circuit wiring relies on selective synapse formation whereby a presynaptic release
apparatus is matched with its cognate postsynaptic machinery. At metabotropic synapses …

Voltage‐gated calcium channels (VGCCs) represent the sole mechanism to convert
membrane depolarization into cellular functions like secretion, contraction, or gene …

The mammalian retina is the most unique tissue among those that display robust
circadian/diurnal oscillations. The retina is not only a light sensing tissue that relays light …
