Genetic Calcium Signaling Abnormalities in the Central Nervous System: Seizures, Migraine, and Autism

Abstract excerpt

The calcium ion is one of the most versatile, ancient, and universal of biological signaling molecules, known to regulate physiological systems at every level from membrane potential and ion transporters to kinases and transcription factors. Disruptions of intracellular calcium homeostasis underlie a host of emerging diseases, the calciumopathies. Cytosolic calcium signals originate either as extracellular...
