Impaired plasma membrane calcium ATPase activity and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to calcium dysregulation in Fabry disease-related painful neuropathy by Francesco Formaggio, Asia Pizzi, Cecilia Delprete, Davide Pasqualini, Isabella Mataloni, Roberto Rimondini, Ludovica Campolongo, Vincenzo Donadio, Anna Maria Ghelli, Rocco Liguori, Marco Caprini

“…The obtained results suggest that other transport proteins participate in Ca2+ homeostasis in FD and their dysfunction may be directly involved in nociception. In this context, plasma-membrane Ca2+ ATPases exhibited reduced activity in FD, leading to an increased resting [Ca2+]i in sensory neurons. …”

Classification of finger movements through optimal EEG channel and feature selection by Murside Degirmenci, Yilmaz Kemal Yuce, Matjaž Perc, Matjaž Perc, Matjaž Perc, Matjaž Perc, Matjaž Perc, Yalcin Isler

“…IntroductionElectrencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have become popular as EEG is accepted as the simplest and non-invasive neuroimaging modality to record the brain's electrical activity. In the current BCI research context, apart from predicting extremity movements, recent BCI studies have been interested in accurately predicting finger movements of the same hand using different pattern recognition methods over EEG data collected based on motor imagery (MI), through which a mental image of the desired action is generated when a person ideally simulates or imagines carrying out a certain motor task. …”

Coordinated regulation of timing and strength of synaptic outputs by adrenergic receptors through control of action potentials in Purkinje cells by Kei Furukawa, Kei Furukawa, Shin-ya Kawaguchi

“…We demonstrate that Purkinje cell axons exhibit negative control of action potentials in amplitude and conduction velocity by β-adrenergic receptors in a manner dependent on the axonal length through specific reduction of axonal Na+ currents. On the other hand, β-adrenergic receptors increased presynaptic release probability without changing the amount of readily releasable vesicles in axon terminals of Purkinje cells. …”
