Abstract:
Cerebral ischaemia is a leading cause of disability and death world-wide. The only effective treatments are thrombolytic therapy (plasminogen activator; tPA) and hypothermia (33?C). However, tPA has limited clinical application due to its short therapeutic time window and its specific application in thrombo-embolic stroke. Moderate hypothermia (33?C) is only being used following cardiac arrest in comatose survivors. Hence more treatments are urgently required. The first step in developing new treatments is the identification and characterisation of a potential therapeutic target. Since brain d

Abstract:
CHF is a complex disease that results in the remodelling of the heart at every level, from the gross anatomy down to the levels of the ion channel resulting in aberrant signalling and contractile dysfunction. The QT interval of the cardiac ECG is frequently increased in heart failure, suggesting ion channel remodelling which has proarrhythmic consequences. One of the aims of this study was to determine the changes that occur from the in vivo level, down to the level of the ion channel that may contribute to arrhythmogenesis.

Abstract:
Localized calcium elevations known as calcium puffs or sparks are cellular signals arising from cooperative activity of clusters of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) or ryanodine receptors (RyRs) located at calcium release sites on the endoplasmic or sarcoplasmic reticulum membrane. When Markov chain models of these intracellular calcium-regulated calcium channels are coupled via a mathematical representation of the calcium microdomain, simulated calcium release sites may exhibit the phenomenon of "stochastic calcium excitability" where the IP3Rs or RyRs open and close in a concer

Abstract:
Potassium channels govern the duration and frequency of excitable membrane events, and thus may regulate voltage-dependent signals that are important in neuronal development. This study assesses the developmental expression of two classes of K⁺ channels in vivo and in vitro in the rat cerebellum. In vivo, the level of mslo-related transcript for the Ca²⁺-dependent K⁺ channel (KCa) was shown by Northern analysis to be upregulated during development, whereas transcripts for delayed rectifier (KD) channels remained fairly constant. The same pattern of in vivo development was demonstrated with fun

This thesis details my examination of several mechanisms for modulation of N-type calcium channels in neonatal rat superior cervical ganglion (SCG) neurons. The first part of this work characterizes cross-talk between two distinct mechanisms of modulation: readily-reversible inhibition induced by activation of heterotrimeric G-proteins (termed G-protein-mediated inhibition), and phosphorylation of the channel by protein kinase C (PKC). Data previously presented by other groups suggested that one effect of activating PKC is to prevent G-protein-mediated inhibition. The goal of this project was

Abstract:
Calcium imaging has been used as a promising technique to monitor the dynamic activity of neuronal populations. However, the calcium trace is temporally smeared which restricts the extraction of quantities of interest such as spike trains of individual neurons. To address this issue, spike reconstruction algorithms have been introduced. One limitation of such reconstructions is that the underlying models are not informed about the biophysics of spike and burst generations. Such existing prior knowledge might be useful for constraining the possible solutions of spikes. Here we describe, in a no

Abstract:
Compromised calcium homeostasis in the central nervous system (CNS) is implicated as a major contributor in the pathology of neurodegeneration. Dysregulation of Ca2+ homeostasis initiates downstream Ca2+–dependent events that lead to apoptotic and/or necrotic cell death. Increases in the intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) may be the result of Ca2+ influx from the extracellular environment or Ca2+ release from intracellular Ca2+ stores such as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Influx from the extracellular environment is controlled predominantly by voltage gated calcium channels (
