Simulating pancreatic neuroplasticity: in vitro dual-neuron plasticity assay.
Neuroplasticity is an inherent feature of the enteric nervous system and gastrointestinal (GI) innervation under pathological conditions. However, the pathophysiological role of neuroplasticity in GI disorders remains unknown. Novel experimental models which allow simulation and modulation of GI neuroplasticity may enable enhanced appreciation of the contribution of neuroplasticity in particula...
متن کاملDiscrete Modeling of Multi-Transmitter Neural Networks with Neuron Competition
We propose a novel discrete model of central pattern generators (CPG), neuronal ensembles generating rhythmic activity. The model emphasizes the role of nonsynaptic interactions and the diversity of electrical properties in nervous systems. Neurons in the model release different neurotransmitters into the shared extracellular space (ECS) so each neuron with the appropriate set of receptors can ...
متن کاملMitochondria: Enigmatic Stewards of the Synaptic Vesicle Reserve Pool
Synaptic mitochondria in synaptic transmission and organization of vesicle pools in health and disease Studies on isolated mitochondria and those in cultured cells have revealed much about their inherent biology, and yielded two Nobel prizes, but our knowledge of their role(s) in the onset and progression of neurodegener-ative diseases is still limited. In large part, this is because little is ...
متن کاملSynapsin IIa controls the reserve pool of glutamatergic synaptic vesicles.
Synapsins regulate synaptic transmission by controlling the reserve pool of synaptic vesicles. Each of the three mammalian synapsin genes is subject to alternative splicing, yielding several isoforms whose roles are unknown. To investigate the function of these isoforms, we examined the synaptic effects of introducing each isoform into glutamatergic cultured hippocampal neurons from synapsin tr...
متن کاملPool-specific regulation of motor neuron survival by neurotrophic support.
The precise control of motor neuron (MN) death and survival following initial innervation of skeletal muscle targets is a key step in sculpting a functional motor system, but how this is regulated at the level of individual motor pools remains unclear. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor Met play key developmental roles in both muscle and MNs. We generated mice (termed "Nes-Met") in...
