Periodic Reporting for period 4 - NANOPDICS (Optoelectrical Dynamics of Ion channel Activation in Calcium Nanodomains)

In neurons, sites of Ca2+ influx and Ca2+ sensors are located within 20-50 nm, in subcellular “Ca2+ nanodomains”. Such tight coupling is crucial for the functional properties of synapses and neuronal excitability. Two key players act together in nanodomains, coupling Ca2+...
