The side effects of treating neurological disorders with antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are caused by calcium imbalances in the brain. Such side effects can be improved by the use of calcium-balance modulators.
Neural networks play a key role in regulating circadian rhythms through the mediation of cAMP. The findings may help with developing new strategies to manage circadian rhythm problems such as sleep disorders.
Pulsed electronically generated electromagnetic fields (EMFs) used for wireless communications produce electric and magnetic forces that act in the body's cells by activating voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs). VGCC activation induces changes that increase intracellular calcium levels. Researchers link EMF exposure to changes that lead to excessive intracellular calcium. This could have implications for the development of Alzheimer's disease.
Floods of calcium that originate from hippocampal neurons can also boost learning, a new study reports.
Calcium directs blood flow in the brain by controlling blood vessel contractions, a new study reveals.
Calcium activity mediated by Piezo1 channels regulates the pathfinding of blood vessels in the developing brain.
Mouse study reveals a clear correlation between cognitive ability in aging and presynaptic calcium levels.
Astrocytes can alter neurons to drive behaviors associated with ADHD. Researchers believe astrocytes may be used to develop targeted treatments for behavioral deficits associated with a range of mental illnesses.
Study finds no association between mineral levels or dietary mineral intake and an increased risk of multiple sclerosis.
A new study reveals the same calcium signaling mechanism is required to generate specific classes of neurons in the brain.
Researchers have identified a novel role the RGS14 protein plays in limiting synaptic plasticity.
A new Nature Communications study reveals increased calcium levels in brain cells may play a significant role in the development of Parkinson's disease.
