Feed-forward metabotropic signaling by Cav1 Ca2+ channels supports pacemaking in pedunculopontine cholinergic neurons

Cholinergic neurons (CNs) in the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) are lost in the course of Parkinson’s disease. PPN CNs have a distinctive physiological phenotype that shares only some of the features of other selectively vulnerable neurons in PD.

Inhibition of striatal dopamine release by the L-type calcium channel inhibitor isradipine co-varies with risk factors for Parkinson’s

This data show that LTCC function in DA axons, and isradipine effect, are locally governed and suggest they vary in a manner that in turn might impact on, or reflect, the cellular stress that leads to parkinsonian degeneration.
