Over the past 300 years, the migraine field has been dominated by two main theories—the
vascular theory and the central neuronal theory. The success of vasoconstrictors such as …

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is engineered to be a highly reliable synapse to carry the
control of the motor commands of the nervous system over the muscles. Its development …

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is expressed throughout the central and peripheral
nervous systems, consistent with control of vasodilatation, nociception, motor function …

In the nervous system, the induction of plasticity is coded by patterns of synaptic activity.
Glial cells are now recognized as dynamic partners in a wide variety of brain functions …

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a highly reliable synapse to carry the control of the
motor commands of the nervous system over the muscles. Its development, organization …

Over the past few years, we have studied, in the mammalian neuromuscular junction (NMJ),
the local involvement in transmitter release of the presynaptic muscarinic ACh autoreceptors …

Neuronal synapses are important microstructures that underlie complex cognitive capacities.
Recent studies, primarily in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster, have …

Adenosine receptors (AR s) are present in the motor terminals at the mouse neuromuscular
junction. AR s and the presynaptic muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR s) share the …

Immunocytochemistry shows that purinergic receptors (P1Rs) type A1 and A2A (A1R and A2
AR, respectively) are present in the nerve endings at the P6 and P30 Levator auris longus …

Purines have physiologically important functions throughout the nervous system. In both the
central (CNS) and peripheral nervous systems (PNS), purines in the form of adenosine …
