Calcineurin regulation of neuronal plasticity

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2003
From the most basic of nervous systems to the intricate circuits found within the human brain, a fundamental requirement of neuronal function is that it be malleable, altering its output based upon experience. A host of cellular proteins are recruited for this purpose, which themselves are regulated by protein phosphorylation.

Neuronal Modulation and Plasticity in Vitro

1994
Publisher Summary This chapter emphasizes on the contribution that in vitro studies that have made in determining the influence of trophic factors and physical environment on neuronal survival and phenotypic plasticity. It also considers the control of neurite extension and growth cone activity in finding pathways and establishing synaptic ...

Postsynaptic actin and neuronal plasticity

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1999
In the adult brain, actin is concentrated in dendritic spines where it can produce rapid changes in their shape. Through various synaptic junction proteins, this postsynaptic actin is linked to neurotransmitter receptors, influencing their function and, in turn, being influenced by them.

Neuron–astrocyte communication and synaptic plasticity

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2010
By forming close contacts with synapses, astrocytes secrete neuroactive substances and remove neurotransmitters, thus influencing the processing of information by the nervous system. Here, we review recent work on astrocytes and their roles in regulating neuronal function and synaptic plasticity.

Microglia in neuronal plasticity: Influence of stress

Neuropharmacology, 2015
The central nervous system (CNS) has previously been regarded as an immune-privileged site with the absence of immune cell responses but this dogma was not entirely true. Microglia are the brain innate immune cells and recent findings indicate that they participate both in CNS disease and infection as well as facilitate normal CNS function.

Establishment and plasticity of neuronal polarity

Journal of Neuroscience Research, 1999
A fundamental feature of neurons is that they possess a polarized morphology, typified by a single long axon and several short dendrites. This cellular polarity forms the basis for directionalized rapid signaling, and for bi-directional trophic signaling, in neuronal circuits. While a catalog of structural, molecular, and functional differences between

Diabetes and the plasticity of sensory neurons

Neuroscience Letters, 2015
Diabetes mellitus targets sensory neurons during the development of peripheral neuropathy. While polyneuropathy is often routinely considered as another 'microvascular' complication of diabetes mellitus, this concept may no longer address the complexities and unique qualities of direct neuronal involvement. The list of altered molecules and pathways in

[Neuronal plasticity].

Revista de neurologia, 1996
The term 'brain plasticity' means the brain capacity to diminish the effects of the lesions through structural functional changes. A great part of the pathological processes of the nervous system affecting the corticospinal and the subcorticospinal tracts, the cerebellar, spinal, visual, language and other systems show neuronal plasticity ...

Mitochondrial Regulation of Neuronal Plasticity

Neurochemical Research, 2006
The structure and function of neurons is dynamic during development and in adaptive responses of the adult nervous system to environmental demands. The mechanisms that regulate neuronal plasticity are poorly understood, but are believed to involve neurotransmitter and neurotrophic factor signaling pathways.
