Does aKT signaling within the ventral tegmental area regulate cellular and behavioral responses to stressful stimuli?
These studies highlight a crucial role for decreases in VTA AKT signaling as a key mediator of the maladaptive cellular and behavioral response to chronic stress.
These studies provide evidence for the existence of a maintained sub-sarcolemmal elevation of [Na] in ventricular myocardium; however, this fuzzy-space [Na]did not change immediately after the activation of Na influx via voltage-gated Na channels or throughout the contractile cycle.
