Neuronal Signal
. 2021 Dec;
5(4):NS20180122.
PMID: 34956649
Disrupted in Schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) participates in a wide variety of developmental processes of central neurons. It also serves critical roles that underlie cognitive functioning in adult central neurons. Here...

Voltage-induced Ca release by ryanodine receptors causes neuropeptide secretion from nerve terminals
Velazquez-Marrero C, Custer E, Marrero H, Ortiz-Miranda S, Lemos J
J Neuroendocrinol
. 2020 Apr;
32(4):e12840.
PMID: 32227430
Depolarisation-secretion coupling is assumed to be dependent only on extracellular calcium ([Ca ] ). Ryanodine receptor (RyR)-sensitive stores in hypothalamic neurohypophysial system (HNS) terminals produce sparks of intracellular calcium ([Ca...

Paskavitz A, Quintana J, Cangussu D, Tavera-Montanez C, Xiao Y, Ortiz-Miranda S, et al.
J Trace Elem Med Biol
. 2018 Jun;
49:27-34.
PMID: 29895369
Zinc transporters facilitate metal mobilization and compartmentalization, playing a key role in cellular development. Little is known about the mechanisms and pathways of Zn movement between Zn transporters and metalloproteins...

. 2018 Mar;
PMID: 29512852
Many different types of purinergic receptors are present in the Hypothalamic-Neurohypophysial System (HNS), which synthesizes and releases vasopressin and oxytocin. The specific location of purinergic receptor subtypes has important functional...

Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol
. 2016 Sep;
311(5):G903-G919.
PMID: 27659423
Knockout technology has proven useful for delineating functional roles of specific genes. Here we describe and provide an explanation for striking pathology that occurs in a subset of genetically engineered...

McNally J, Custer E, Ortiz-Miranda S, Woodbury D, Kraner S, Salzberg B, et al.
J Gen Physiol
. 2014 May;
143(6):693-702.
PMID: 24863930
Highly localized Ca(2+) release events have been characterized in several neuronal preparations. In mouse neurohypophysial terminals (NHTs), such events, called Ca(2+) syntillas, appear to emanate from a ryanodine-sensitive intracellular Ca(2+)...

J Neurosci
. 2014 Mar;
34(10):3733-42.
PMID: 24599471
μ-Opioid agonists have no effect on calcium currents (I(Ca)) in neurohypophysial terminals when recorded using the classic whole-cell patch-clamp configuration. However, μ-opioid receptor (MOR)-mediated inhibition of I(Ca) is reliably demonstrated...

Alcohol Clin Exp Res
. 2013 Feb;
37(6):933-40.
PMID: 23421938
Background: Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) in rat neurohypophysial terminals exhibit molecular tolerance to alcohol, including desensitization to the drug and increased current density, after 3 weeks of alcohol drinking. Moreover,...

PMID: 17452053
The objective of this study was to develop a method that could reliably determine the arginine vasopressin (AVP) and/or oxytocin (OT) content of individual rat neurohypophysial terminals (NHT) >or=5 microm...
