Voltage-gated calcium channels couple depolarization of the cell-surface membrane to entry
of calcium, which triggers secretion, contraction, neurotransmission, gene expression, and …

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 …

Vesicle exocytosis releases content to mediate many biological events, including synaptic
transmission essential for brain functions. Following exocytosis, endocytosis is initiated to …

The intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca 2+]) has important roles in the triggering of
neurotransmitter release and the regulation of short-term plasticity (STP). Transmitter …

Neuromorphic computing is a promising computing paradigm toward building next-
generation artificial intelligence machines, in which diverse types of synaptic plasticity play …

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 …

Synapses exhibit several forms of short-term plasticity that play a multitude of computational
roles. Short-term depression suppresses neurotransmitter release for hundreds of …

Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) comprise a heterogeneous group of pathological
conditions, mainly of genetic origin, characterized by stereotyped behavior, marked …

Synaptic vesicles release neurotransmitter at chemical synapses, thus initiating the flow of
information in neural networks. To achieve this, vesicles undergo a dynamic cycle of fusion …

Calmodulin regulation (calmodulation) of the family of voltage-gated CaV1-2 channels
comprises a prominent prototype for ion channel regulation, remarkable for its powerful …
