Voltage-gated calcium channels are required for many key functions in the body. In this
review, the different subtypes of voltage-gated calcium channels are described and their …

Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that has received considerable concern environmentally
and occupationally. Cd has a long biological half‐life mainly due to its low rate of excretion …

T-type Ca2+ channels were originally called low-voltage-activated (LVA) channels because
they can be activated by small depolarizations of the plasma membrane. In many neurons …

Chronic pain is a severely debilitating condition that reflects a long-term sensitization of
signal transduction in the afferent pain pathway. Among the key players in this pathway are …

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

Voltage-gated Ca e+ channels control the entry of Ca e+ ions across the surface membrane
of neurons and other cells and thereby influence electrical activity and diverse cellular …

I. OVERVIEW AND NOMENCLATURE Times change. In 1926, the writer of a review in this
journal noted that over 350 papers had appeared on the subject during the previous 2 years …

Abstract Knowledge concerning the pathophysiologic mechanisms of traumatic optic
neuropathy is limited. The optic nerve is a tract of the brain. Therefore, the cellular and …

VOLTAGE-DEPENDENT calcium channels mediate calcium entry into neurons, which is
crucial for many processes in the brain including synaptic transmission, dendritic spiking …

Two distinct forms of long-term depression (LTD), one dependent on the activation of NMDA
receptors (NMDARs) and the other dependent on the activation of metabotropic glutamate …
