N-Type Calcium Channels Control GABAergic Transmission in Brain Areas related to Fear and Anxiety







Abstract
(ISSN 2573-4407)
OBM Neurobiology is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal published quarterly online by LIDSEN Publishing Inc. By design, the scope of OBM Neurobiology is broad, so as to reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the field of Neurobiology that interfaces biology with the fundamental and clinical neurosciences. As such, OBM Neurobiology embraces rigorous multidisciplinary investigations into the form and function of neurons and glia that make up the nervous system, either individually or in ensemble, in health or disease. OBM Neurobiology welcomes original contributions that employ a combination of molecular, cellular, systems and behavioral approaches to report novel neuroanatomical, neuropharmacological, neurophysiological and neurobehavioral findings related to the following aspects of the nervous system: Signal Transduction and Neurotransmission; Neural Circuits and Systems Neurobiology; Nervous System Development and Aging; Neurobiology of Nervous System Diseases (e.g., Developmental Brain Disorders; Neurodegenerative Disorders).
OBM Neurobiology publishes research articles, technical reports and invited topical reviews. Although the OBM Neurobiology Editorial Board encourages authors to be succinct, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. Authors should present their results in as much detail as possible, as reviewers are encouraged to emphasize scientific rigor and reproducibility.
Archiving: full-text archived in CLOCKSS.
Rapid publication: manuscripts are undertaken in 11.8 days from acceptance to publication (median values for papers published in this journal in the second half of 2021, 1-2 days of FREE language polishing time is also included in this period).

About this topic
The Brain is the largest computational device the humans can imagine with the ability to manage and elaborate the information arriving from the environment as well as from the internal of the body producing the appropriate outputs. The neurons, organized in specialized neural networks, are the building blocks and the elaborators in parallel of all the inputs. Synapses are the devices they use both to receives and send information from/o other neurons in the network. The synapses are, then, the key elements for the understanding of the brain activity and of almost all the pathologies associated with brain malfunctioning. Because of the synaptic dimensions and for several technical limitations, the study of the synaptic functions can be effective only by a multidisciplinary approach.
The present special topic is intended to host papers on synapses and the synaptic function presenting results obtained with by any possible experimental, theoretical and computational approach. Also review showing a wide area of the synaptic functionality or short communications stressing specific problems, or showing preliminary results, are welcome.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at http://www.lidsen.com/account-login by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website. Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are refereed through a peer-review process. Guidelines for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts are available on the Instructions for Authors page. OBM Neurobiology is an international peer-reviewed Open Access monthly journal published by LIDSEN. Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript.

N-Type Calcium Channels Control GABAergic Transmission in Brain Areas related to Fear and Anxietyby
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Abstract N-type (CaV2.2) calcium channels are key for action potential-evoked transmitter release in the peripheral and central nervous system. Previous studies have highlighted the functional relevance of N-type calcium channels at both the peripheral and central level. In the periphery, N-type calcium channels regulate nociceptive and sympathetic [...] |
