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 …

The voltage-gated calcium channel α2δ and β subunits are traditionally considered to be
auxiliary subunits that enhance channel trafficking, increase the expression of functional …

Voltage-gated calcium channels consist of the main pore-forming α1 subunit, together,
except in the case of the T-type channels, with β and α2δ and sometimes γ subunits, which …

Neuronal activity influences genes involved in circuit development and information
processing. However, the molecular basis of this process remains poorly understood. We …

Summary Voltage-dependent Ca 2+ channels (Ca V s) represent the principal source of Ca
2+ ions that trigger evoked neurotransmitter release from presynaptic boutons. Ca 2+ influx …

Cell-or network-driven oscillators underlie motor rhythmicity. The identity of C. elegans
oscillators remains unknown. Through cell ablation, electrophysiology, and calcium imaging …

The synaptic adhesion molecules Neurexin and Neuroligin alter the development and
function of synapses and are linked to autism in humans. In C. elegans, post-synaptic …

Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) play obligatory physiological roles, including
modulation of neuronal functions, synaptic plasticity, neurotransmitter release and gene …

To endure over the organismal lifespan, neurons utilize multiple strategies to achieve
protein homeostasis (proteostasis). Some homeostatic mechanisms act in a subcellular …

Neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) have long been studied as particularly accessible
examples of chemical synapses. Nonetheless, some important features of neuromuscular …
