Interesting papers on the role of cell organelles of neuronal dendrites in calcium signaling

Posted on August 11, 2025 by P.T.R. Rupprecht

Researchers utilize calcium imaging to track neuronal activity in the brain, highlighting the role of calcium as a signaling molecule. Recent studies investigate intracellular calcium dynamics, particularly its coupling between organelles and its influence on synaptic plasticity in dendrites. Findings emphasize the necessity of in vivo methods for accurate insights into neuronal behavior. Continue reading →
