Sentence examples for sustaining neuronal function from inspiring English sources

Glia have important roles in sustaining neuronal function, including glutamate cycling and transport of glycolytic substrates to axons during periods of intense activity (Chih et al., 2001).

The rapid removal of glutamate from the extracellular space is required for the survival and normal functioning of neurons, and the energy-dependent glial glutamate transporter has been shown to be important for sustaining neuronal functions (Anderson and Swanson, 2000; Voutsinos-Porche et al., 2003).

Current gaps still exist for a key gene that could effectively target neuroprotection, enhance neuron regeneration and sustain neuronal function.

However, the functional role of the somata of sensory neurons goes far beyond sustaining neuronal survival and synthesizing proteins that impart or modulate cell function.

Each NTF has a unique therapeutic mechanism of promoting regeneration of and sustaining neuronal cells.

Episodes of hypoglycaemia are distressing, either because of the symptom response to the falling blood glucose concentration, or because of the alteration in brain function that occurs if the plasma glucose falls too low to sustain normal neuronal function.

Another suggested model for stimulus trace representation involves sustained neuronal activity (Solomon et al., 1986).

Compelling evidence now demonstrates that astrocytic glycogen utilization can sustain neuronal activity during hypoglycemia and during periods of high neuronal activity [ 27, 231].

Mitochondria are dynamically transported along lengthy neuronal processes to provide energy to nerve terminals and maintain the normal neuronal function.

Ultimately intraneuronal signalling becomes deregulated to the extent that neuronal function and survival cannot be sustained, whereas the resulting elevated levels of amyloidogenic A βo and phosphorylated TAU species self-polymerizes into the AD plaques and tangles, respectively.

In neurons, mitochondria dampen changes in cytosolic Ca2+ loads and sustain cellular Ca2+ homeostasis that is required for normal neuronal function.
