Study of Presynaptic Calcium Channels and a Novel Calcium Channel Calhm1
Calcium signaling is essential for all cellular processes. In brain these processes include basic synaptic transmission, modification of established synapses, elimination of synapses as well as elimination of whole neurons by way of apoptosis. In this thesis, we have studied two of these processes. …

Characterization Of High-Voltage-Activated Calcium Channels In Retinal Bipolar Cells
… parallel pathways through their diversified cell types and physiological properties. Voltage-gated Ca<sup>2+</sup> channels could be particularly important underlying the diversified physiological properties of different BCs. In this dissertation, I investigated the high-voltage-activated (HVA) …

Molecular Mechanisms of Presynaptic Plasticity and Function in the Mammalian Brain
… 7 (Syt7) has been shown to act as residual calcium (Ca$_{res}$) sensor for PPF and TF at various synapses. Syt7 also seems to be involved in recovery from depression, whereas its role in neurotransmission remains controversial. My aim was to express Syt7 in a synapse where it is not normally …
