A PI3-Kinase–Mediated Negative Feedback Regulates Neuronal Excitability
Use-dependent downregulation of neuronal activity (negative feedback) can act as a homeostatic mechanism to maintain neuronal activity at a particular specified value. Disruption of this negative feedback might lead to neurological pathologies, such as epilepsy, but the precise mechanisms by which this feedback can occur remain incompletely understood. At one glutamatergic synapse, the Drosophi...
متن کاملA repressor of GATA-mediated negative feedback mechanism of T cell activation.
The NF-AT family is a group of potent transcription factors that are essential for T cell activation in vitro. However, NF-ATc2-deficient Th cells display hyperproliferation in response to stimulation, suggesting that NF-ATc2 functions as a negative regulator of Th cell activation/proliferation. In this study we show that the transcriptional repressor of GATA (ROG) is a direct target gene of NF...

متن کاملResting microglia respond to and regulate neuronal activity in vivo
Microglia are the primary immune cells in the brain. Under pathological conditions, they become activated and participate in scavenging, inflammation and tissue repair in response to brain injury. While the function and underlying mechanism of activated microglia have been intensively studied in the past decades, physiological functions of resting microglia remain largely underestimated. In our...
متن کاملSelf-organising mechanism of neuronal avalanche activity
A self-organising model is proposed to explain the criticality in cortical networks deduced from recent observations of neuronal avalanches. Prevailing understanding of self-organised criticality (SOC) dictates that conservation of energy is essential to its emergence. Neuronal networks however are inherently non-conservative as demonstrated by microelectrode recordings. The model presented her...
