TL;DR: C cultured hippocampal neurones display a simple, transcription and protein synthesis‐dependent form of plasticity and the non‐invasive nature of MEA recordings provides a significant advantage over traditional assays for synaptic connectivity and facilitates the search for activity‐regulated genes critical for late‐phase plasticity.

TL;DR: Results suggest that an altered motor neuron excitability accompanies an ALS associated mutation and that may contribute to the pathogenesis of the disease.

TL;DR: The electrophysiological and pharmacological properties of the mGluR1‐induced inward current are consistent with the involvement of TRP channels whereas calcium responses are dependent on the function of SOCs in voltage clamp recordings.

TL;DR: The calcium signaling pathways underlying synaptically activated gene transcription leading to long-lasting changes in synaptic efficacy and memory are reviewed as well as the physiological mechanisms by which synaptic activity evokes nuclear calcium signals.

TL;DR: It is shown that vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGFD), commonly known as an angiogenic mitogen, controls the total length and complexity of dendrites both in cultured hippocampal neurons and in the adult mouse hippocampus.
