THE CONCISE GUIDE TO PHARMACOLOGY 2019/20: Ion channels.

TL;DR: The landscape format of the Concise Guide is designed to facilitate comparison of related targets from material contemporary to mid‐2019, and supersedes data presented in the 2017/18, 2015/16 and 2013/14 Concise Guides and previous Guides to Receptors and Channels.

Substance P and pain chronicity.

TL;DR: This review focuses on functional neuronal plasticity in spinal dorsal horn neurons as a major relay for nociceptive information in spinal and brainstem second-order neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Presynaptic calcium channels: specialized control of synaptic neurotransmitter release.

TL;DR: The nature of voltage-gated Ca 2+ channels, how they are trafficked to and anchored within presynaptic boutons, and the mechanisms that allow them to function optimally in shaping the flow of information through neural circuits are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Possible Effects of Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Field Exposure on Central Nerve System.

TL;DR: The possible biological effects of RF-EMF exposure have not yet been proven, and there are insufficient data on biological hazards to provide a clear answer to possible health risks, so it is necessary to study the biological response to RF- EMF in consideration of the comprehensive exposure with regard to the use of various devices by individuals.

Short-Term Synaptic Plasticity

TL;DR: The evidence for this hypothesis, and the origins of the different kinetic phases of synaptic enhancement, as well as the interpretation of statistical changes in transmitter release and roles played by other factors such as alterations in presynaptic Ca(2+) influx or postsynaptic levels of [Ca(2+)]i are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

LTP and LTD: an embarrassment of riches.

TL;DR: This work reviews those forms of LTP and LTD for which mechanisms have been most firmly established and examples are provided that show how these mechanisms can contribute to experience-dependent modifications of brain function.

Three types of neuronal calcium channel with different calcium agonist sensitivity.

TL;DR: Evidence is reported for the coexistence of three types of Ca channel in sensory neurones of the chick dorsal root ganglion and the dihydropyridine Ca agonist Bay K 8644 strongly increases the opening probability of L-, but not T- or N-type channels.

Evidence for recycling of synaptic vesicle membrane during transmitter release at the frog neuromuscular junction

TL;DR: During stimulation the intracellular compartments of this synapse change shape and take up extracellular protein in a manner which indicates that synaptic vesicle membrane added to the surface during exocytosis is retrieved by coated vesicles and recycled into new synaptic vESicles by way of intermediate cisternae.
