Abstract excerpt
Voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channels (VDCCs) play important roles in physiological functions and pathological processes of the nervous system. Given that the precise regulation of Ca(2+) signaling is important for neuronal processes such as action potential generation, transmitter release, and synaptic plasticity, alterations in Ca(2+) current through VDCCs affect the functions of neurons and circuits. Central...
