Adaptations to hypoxia in the vertebrate retina
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Most animals, including mammals, are susceptible to the damaging effects of hypoxia or ischaemia, where the result is neuronal cell death in the brain. By contrast, some neurons of the mammalian retina are less sensitive to hypoxia. In both brain and retina, neurons may survive if first preconditioned with ischaemia.

Pituitary Adenylate Cyclase-Activating Polypeptide Orchestrates Neuronal Regulation Of The Astrocytic Glutamate-Releasing Mechanism System x\u3csub\u3ec\u3c/sub\u3e\u3csup\u3e−\u3c/sup\u3e [PDF]
, 2016 Glutamate signaling is achieved by an elaborate network involving neurons and astrocytes. Hence, it is critical to better understand how neurons and astrocytes interact to coordinate the cellular regulation of glutamate signaling.

The mysterious middlemen making your vision pop: understanding the function of amacrine cells
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend This review aims to illustrate the diversity and function of amacrine cells in the retina. The diversity of amacrine cell subtypes is depicted based on morphology, stratification and neurotransmitter expression, along with their synaptic connectivity with bipolar and ganglion cells, emphasizing inhibitory and modulatory roles ...

A PI3K-mediated negative feedback regulates Drosophila motor neuron excitability [PDF]
, 2008 Negative feedback can act as a homeostatic mechanism to maintain neuronal activity at a particular specified value. At the Drosophila neuromuscular junction, a mutation in the type II metabotropic glutamate receptor gene (mGluRA) increased motor neuron ...

Steroid Receptors and Vertebrate Evolution [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Considering that life on earth evolved about 3.7 billion years ago, vertebrates are young, appearing in the fossil record during the Cambrian explosion about 542 to 515 million years ago. Results from sequence analyses of genomes from bacteria, yeast, plants, invertebrates and vertebrates indicate that receptors for adrenal steroids (aldosterone ...
