List of contents

From the contents: Capo Boi Lectura Magistralis on: Multiple types of neuronal calcium channels.- Molecular properties of voltage-sensitive sodium and calcium channels.- Molecular properties of dihydropyridine and phenylalkylamine-sensitive calcium channels.- Active currents in mammalian sympathetic neurones.- Modulation of calcium currents in cultured astrocytes by isoproterenol.- Voltage-sensitive K+ channels contribute to dendritic excitability in cerebellar purkinje neurons.- Receptor modulation of ACTH release in a clonal line of pituitary cells. Role of voltage gated calcium channels.- Mechanism of calcium channel inactivation in PC12 cells and its importance for controlling neurotransmitter secretion.- Block and modulation of neuronal Ca channels by catecholamines, cyclic alcohols and nickel.- Neuronal and cardiac muscarinic acetylcholine receptors: regulation and development.- Coupling between muscarinic receptor and calcium channel.- Regulation of calcium influx in pheochromocytoma and lactotroph cells.- Studies on glutamate receptor regulo-protein kinase C translocation and activation.- Morphine withdrawal syndrome and calcium channels: "in vivo" and "in vitro" studies.- Membrane processes and ionic movements involved in ouabain-induced stimulation of dopamine release from tuberoinfundibular neurons.- Calcium channel agonists and antagonists modulate voltage dependent calcium influx and neurotransmitter release in the central nervous system.
