Calcium channel untuk tidur nyenyak telah diidentifikasi

Summary:
Para ilmuwan telah menemukan, Sebuah saluran kalsium tertentu memainkan peran penting di dalam, tidur gelombang lambat . Ini adalah langkah kunci menuju pemahaman kedua fungsi otak bangun normal dan abnormal .
............... Untuk mengatasi pertanyaan luas tentang tidur, Llinás dan rekan-rekannya terfokus pada satu bagian penting dari teka-teki pada tikus. Saluran kalsium, gerbang selektif dalam dinding neuron, yang integral dalam neuron firing , memastikan bahwa semua bagian dari otak terus berbicara dengan yang lain. Tapi selama tidur, aktivitas saluran kalsium meningkat, menjaga irama lambat yang berbeda dari pola yang ditemukan selama terjaga. Berdasarkan petunjuk ini, para ilmuwan menghapus satu jenis saluran kalsium, Cav3.1, dan melihat bagaimana tidak adanya kegiatan saluran yang menmpengaruhi fungsi otak tikus.
Calcium channel ini ternyata menjadi pemain kunci dalam tidur normal. Tikus tanpa bekerjanya saluran kalsium Cav3.1 membutuhkan waktu lebih lama untuk tertidur daripada tikus normal, dan tertidur untuk waktu yang lebih pendek. "Mereka pada dasarnya mengambil tidur siangnya kucing," kata Llinás. Aktivitas otak mereka juga normal, lebih seperti terjaga normal daripada tidur. Yang paling penting, tikus-tikus ini tidak pernah mencapai hingga mendalam, tidur gelombang lambat. "Ini berarti bahwa kita telah menemukan bahwa Cav3.1 adalah saluran yang pada akhirnya mendukung tidur nyenyak," kata Llinás.....more
Calcium channel
essential for deep sleep identified

Summary:
A specific calcium channel plays a crucial role in deep, slow-wave sleep,
scientists have discovered. This is a key step toward understanding both normal
and abnormal waking brain functions.
....................
Sleep seems simple enough, a state of rest and restoration that almost
every vertebrate creature must enter regularly in order to survive. But the
brain responds differently to stimuli when asleep than when awake, and it is
not clear what brain changes happen during sleep. "It is the same brain,
same neurons and similar requirements for oxygen and so on, so what is the
difference between these two states?" asks Rodolfo Llinás, a professor of
neuroscience at New York University School of Medicine and a Whitman Center
Investigator at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) in Woods Hole. In a
recent paper, Choi, Yu, Lee, and Llinás announced that a specific calcium
channel plays a crucial role in healthy sleep, a key step toward understanding
both normal and abnormal waking brain functions.
To tackle the broad question of sleep, Llinás and his colleagues focused on
one crucial part of the puzzle in mice. Calcium channels, selective gates in
neuron walls, are integral in neuron firing, ensuring that all parts of the
brain keep talking to one other. But during sleep, calcium channel activity is
increased, keeping a slow rhythm that is different from patterns found during
wakefulness. Based on this clue, the scientists removed one type of calcium
channel, Cav3.1, and looked at how the absence of that channel's activity
affected mouse brain function.
This calcium channel turns out to be a key player in normal sleep. The mice
without working Cav3.1 calcium channels took longer to fall asleep than normal
mice, and stayed asleep for much shorter periods. "They basically took cat
naps," says Llinás. Their brain activity was also abnormal, more like
normal wakefulness than sleep. Most importantly, these mice never reached deep,
slow-wave sleep. "This means that we have discovered that Cav3.1 is the
channel that ultimately supports deep sleep," Llinás says.
Because these mice completely lack the ability to sleep deeply, they
eventually express a syndrome similar to psychiatric disorders in humans.
Llinás believes that studying how the brain functions during unconsciousness is
key to understanding normal consciousness, as well as abnormal brain activity.
This paper begins to uncover one of the key mechanisms of normal sleep, as well
as the role for one important calcium channel in overall brain function.
