The Effects of Neurosteroids, such as Pregnenolone Sulfate and its receptor, TrpM3 in the Retina. [PDF]
, 2019 Pregnenolone sulfate (PregS) is the precursor to all steroid hormones and is produced in neurons in an activity dependent manner. Studies have shown that PregS production is upregulated during certain critical periods of development, such as in the first

State-Dependent Modulation of Gap Junction Signaling by the Persistent Sodium Current [PDF]
, 2012 Thalamic neurons fluctuate between two states: a hyperpolarized state associated with burst firing and sleep spindles, and a depolarized state associated with tonic firing and rapid, reliable information transmission between the sensory periphery and ...

Regulation of connexin36 gap junction channels by n‐alkanols and arachidonic acid
The Journal of Physiology, 2013 Key points Under control conditions only one of ∼128 connexin (Cx)36 gap junction channels assembled in junctional plaques are open at a given time. This ratio was increased several times by short carbon chain n‐alkanols and BSA, and reduced by long carbon chain n‐alkanols.

Cx36 makes channels coupling human pancreatic β-cells, and correlates with insulin expression [PDF]
, 2017 Previous studies have documented that the insulin-producing β-cells of laboratory rodents are coupled by gap junction channels made solely of the connexin36 (Cx36) protein, and have shown that loss of this protein desynchronizes β-cells, leading to ...

Manipulating sleep spindles - expanding views on sleep, memory, and disease. [PDF]
, 2013 Sleep spindles are distinctive electroencephalographic (EEG) oscillations emerging during non-rapid-eye-movement sleep (NREMS) that have been implicated in multiple brain functions, including sleep quality, sensory gating, learning, and memory.

Cost variability, quality of care and hospitals' payment systems [PDF]
, 2006 In most European countries hospitals' payment is based on a prospective payment per DRG. This article highlights the potential drawbacks of such a payment system when the regulator (the National Health Insurance) can observe neither the quality ...

Roles of connexins and pannexins in (neuro)endocrine physiology. [PDF]
, 2015 International audienceTo ensure appropriate secretion in response to organismal demand, (neuro)endocrine tissues liberate massive quantities of hormone, which act to coordinate and synchronize biological signals in distant secretory and non-secretory ...

Beta cells preferentially exchange cationic molecules via connexin 36 gap junction channels [PDF]
, 2018 Aims/hypothesis: Pancreatic beta cells are connected by gap junction channels made of connexin 36 (Cx36), which permit intercellular exchanges of current-carrying ions (ionic coupling) and other molecules (metabolic coupling).

Response of electrically coupled spiking neurons: a cellular automaton approach
, 2005 Experimental data suggest that some classes of spiking neurons in the first layers of sensory systems are electrically coupled via gap junctions or ephaptic interactions. When the electrical coupling is removed, the response function (firing rate {\it vs.
