Local and global spontaneous calcium events regulate neurite outgrowth and onset of GABAergic phenotype during neural precursor differentiation [PDF]
, 2003 Neural stem cells can generate in vitro progenitors of the three main cell lineages found in the CNS. The signaling pathways underlying the acquisition of differentiated phenotypes in these cells are poorly understood.

THE EFFECT OF THE CONVULSANT AGENT, CATECHOL, ON NEUROTRANSMITTER UPTAKE AND RELEASE IN RAT BRAIN SLICES [PDF]
British Journal of Pharmacology, 1981 The effect of catechol on uptake and K+‐stimulated release of γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), D‐aspartate, noradrenaline and acetylcholine has been studied in slices of cerebral cortex and thalamus. Low concentrations of catechol did not influence the uptake of any of the neurotransmitters in either brain area.

Blood platelet research in autism spectrum disorders: In search of biomarkers
Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2019 Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a clinically heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder that is caused by gene‐environment interactions. To improve its diagnosis and treatment, numerous efforts have been undertaken to identify reliable biomarkers for ...
