Chronic elevated blood pressure impinges on the functioning of multiple organs and therefore harms body homeostasis. Elucidating the protective mechanisms whereby the organism copes with sustained or repetitive blood pressure rises is therefore a topical challenge. Here we address this issue in the adrenal medulla, the master neuroendocrine tissue involved in the secretion of catecholamines, influential hormones in blood pressure regulation.

GABAergic synaptic inhibition controls circuit function by regulating neuronal plasticity, excitability, and firing. To achieve these goals, inhibitory synapses themselves undergo several forms of plasticity via diverse mechanisms, strengthening and weakening phasic inhibition in response to numerous activity-induced stimuli. These mechanisms include changing the number and arrangement of functional GABARs within the inhibitory postsynaptic domain (iPSD), which can profoundly regulate inhibitory synapse strength.

Two types of neuron models are constructed in this paper, namely the single discrete memristive synaptic neuron model and the dual discrete memristive synaptic neuron model. Firstly, it is proved that both models have only one unstable equilibrium point. Then, the influence of the coupling strength parameters and neural membrane amplification coefficient of the corresponding system of the two models on the rich dynamical behavior of the systems is analyzed.

Background: The CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) was initially identified in peripheral immune cells and regulates cytoskeleton and protein trafficking. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CD2AP gene have been associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the functional role of CD2AP, especially its role in microglia during AD onset, remains elusive.

An unusually large amplitude spontaneous miniature endplate potentials (gMEPPs) occur naturally at low frequency at the vertebrate neuromuscular junction. Unlike the normal miniature endplate potentials (nMEPPs), these gMEPPs have long duration and long time to peak. More strikingly, gMEPPs seem to be independent of extracellular and intracellular Ca and have a greater temperature sensitivity than nMEPPs.
