Here, we show for the first time that ankyrin R, in association with β-III spectrin, has a critical role in modulating neuronal sodium channel activity and hence neuron excitability.
NMDA receptors play an important functional role in the neuron excitability and plasticity.
The Hoffmann reflex (H reflex) is extensively used to investigate the spinal motor neuron excitability in healthy and pathological subjects.
The aim of this study was to investigate the immediate effects of facilitatory and inhibitory kinesiotaping on motor neuron excitability.
The results support the hypothesis that artificial modulation of propriospinal neuron excitability may facilitate recovery of motor function after spinal cord injury.
As mentioned in the introduction, these concentrations have been proven to modulate the local neuron excitability and this feedback has been identified in recent studies [1] to be an essential mechanism of several pathologies triggered by astrocytic uptake deficiencies.
Using analytical arguments of bifurcation theory and contained optimization, we have characterized different types of change in the neural activity behavior under the impact of the neurotransmitters-mediated modulation of neuron excitability.
A subpopulation of cortical GABAergic interneurons expresses the calcium-binding protein parvalbumin and plays a critical role in the control of pyramidal neuron excitability and the generation of cortical gamma frequency oscillations.
In the following, we describe how we model the modulation of the neuron excitability in each population by the neurotransmitter concentrations in the extracellular space basing ourselves on biological knowledge.
It is believed that the exercise-induced actions of these afferent fibres inhibit the excitability and net output of corticospinal cells in the central nervous system, as well as effect alpha motor neuron excitability [104 107].
Dopamine effects on neuron excitability had been widely shown.
