Description
This study provides an account of the most fundamental aspects of calcium signal generation in the nervous system, including pathways for calcium ion influx, buffering in the cytosol involvement of intracellular calcium stores and calcium ion extrusion. The text also provides an overview of the interaction of calcium ions with other messenger systems and the functional meaning of calcium ions, as well as the pharmaceutical tools used for their dissection and modulation. The role of calcium in a variety of neural cell types and implications in brain function are also described.
