Calcium regulation of muscle spindle mechanosensory afferent function

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Extracellular calcium is crucial for the normal function of muscle spindle sensory afferents. They express multiple calcium buffering proteins. Extracellular calcium is essential for recycling of synaptic‐like vesicles (SLVs) in the terminals and for the stretch‐evoked inward calcium current of the receptor potential.
