    Structural basis of TRPC4 regulation by calmodulin and pharmacological agents

    Deivanayagabarathy Vinayagam, Dennis Quentin ... Stefan Raunser
    Cryo-EM structures reveal how the canonical TRPC4 cation channel is regulated by calmodulin, and how it is modulated by pyridazinone-based inhibitors.

    Inhibitory peptidergic modulation of C. elegans serotonin neurons is gated by T-type calcium channels

    Kara E Zang, Elver Ho, Niels Ringstad
    Genetic analysis of how neuropeptides control C. elegans reproductive behavior shows how T-type calcium channels engage and disengage target neurons from these critical regulators of neural circuits and behavior.

    Caenorhabditis elegans PIEZO channel coordinates multiple reproductive tissues to govern ovulation

    Xiaofei Bai, Jeff Bouffard ... Andy Golden
    Depletion of the mechanosensitive ion channel PEZO-1 in C. elegans disrupts the sheath and spermathecae cells to disrupt oocyte ovulation, resulting in crushed oocytes.

    Male pheromones modulate synaptic transmission at the C. elegans neuromuscular junction in a sexually dimorphic manner

    Kang-Ying Qian, Wan-Xin Zeng ... Xia-Jing Tong
    Male pheromone environment increases the cholinergic synaptic transmission at the neuromuscular junction in Caenorhabditis elegans hermaphrodites during development, decreasing hermaphrodites' locomotion activity and promoting mating efficiency.

    Roles of the ClC chloride channel CLH-1 in food-associated salt chemotaxis behavior of C. elegans

    Chanhyun Park, Yuki Sakurai ... Hirofumi Kunitomo
    A ClC chloride channel protein allows neurons to interpret both temporal resolution and intensity of sensory input, which thereby contributes to an experience-dependent navigation behavior.

    β2-subunit alternative splicing stabilizes Cav2.3 Ca2+ channel activity during continuous midbrain dopamine neuron-like activity

    Anita Siller, Nadja T Hofer ... Jörg Striessnig
    Regulation of Cav2.3 Ca2+ channels by membrane-bound β2 subunit splice variants permits long-lasting channel activity even during prolonged and continuous activity in dopamine neurons, with implications for Parkinson's disease pathophysiology.

    Dendritic osmosensors modulate activity-induced calcium influx in oxytocinergic magnocellular neurons of the mouse PVN

    Wanhui Sheng, Scott W Harden ... Charles J Frazier
    Activity-induced dendritic calcium influx in oxytocinergic magnocellular neurons can be robustly modulated by a highly diverse set of stimuli acting on distinct types of ion channels expressed along the dendritic membrane.
