TRPV1 and Synaptic Transmission

Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, 2011
Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid Type 1 is a prominent "pain" receptor expressed in sensory afferent neurons. TRPV1 on peripheral nerve terminals detects a variety of noxious stimuli generated at sites of injury and inflammation, and in turn, drives the excitation and sensitization of C-fibers neurons.

Excitation and Synaptic Transmission

Annual Review of Physiology, 1962
The main properties of nerve and muscle cells to be considered in this section are the differences in potential and in ion contents between the interior of the cell and its normal environment, and excitability. The most widely accepted model used to explain these properties is that of a mem­ brane of limited permeability separating the internal and ...

Synaptic Transmission with the Glia

Physiology, 2001
For decades, scientists thought that all of the missing secrets of brain function resided in neurons. However, a wave of new findings indicates that glial cells, formerly considered mere supporters and subordinate to neurons, participate actively in synaptic integration and processing of information in the brain.

Synaptic Transmission in the Brain

Klinische Wochenschrift, 1970
1. Synaptic transmission in the mammalian brain is probably mediated by excitatory or inhibitory substances released from nerve endings.

Synaptic Transmission in the Cockroach

Nature, 1958
ALTHOUGH the synaptic transmission across the last abdominal ganglion of the cockroach has been studied by several workers1–3, the knowledge obtained so far seems to be less complete than for synapses in vertebrate animals. In the present investigation electrical phenomena associated with the synaptic transmission across this ganglion were analysed ...

TIMING OF SYNAPTIC TRANSMISSION

Annual Review of Physiology, 1999
▪ Abstract  Many behaviors require rapid and precisely timed synaptic transmission. These include the determination of a sound's direction by detecting small interaural time differences and visual processing, which relies on synchronous activation of large populations of neurons.

The biochemistry of synaptic transmission

Die Naturwissenschaften, 1973
Subcellular fractionation techniques have added a new dimension to studies of synaptic function. Much of the research of the past decade has been devoted to improving techniques — for subcellular fractionation techniques are full of pitfalls if applied uncritically and there are many problems concerned with the homogeneity and purity of the fractions ...

Synaptic transmission in the retina

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1991
A recent highlight in the study of the retina has been the publication of evidence that the response of the ON bipolar cells is generated by a cGMP-mediated second messenger system. This GTP-binding protein mechanism is activated by the binding of glutamate, the photoreceptor neurotransmitter, to the 2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate (APB) class of receptor.
