[PDF][PDF] Sodium entry during action potentials of mammalian neurons: incomplete inactivation and reduced metabolic efficiency in fast-spiking neurons

BC Carter, BP Bean - Neuron, 2009 - cell.com
We measured the time course of sodium entry during action potentials of mouse central
neurons at 37C to examine how efficiently sodium entry is coupled to depolarization. In cortical …

[PDF][PDF] Cleavage of TRPM7 releases the kinase domain from the ion channel and regulates its participation in Fas-induced apoptosis

…, G Krapivinsky, B Navarro, L Krapivinsky, BC Carter… - Developmental cell, 2012 - cell.com
Transient receptor potential melastatin-like 7 (TRPM7) is a channel protein that also contains
a regulatory serine-threonine kinase domain. Here, we find that Trpm7 −/− T cells are …

Tracking single particles: a user-friendly quantitative evaluation

BC Carter, GT Shubeita, SP Gross - Physical biology, 2005 - iopscience.iop.org
As our knowledge of biological processes advances, we are increasingly aware that cells

[PDF][PDF] A comparison of step-detection methods: how well can you do?

BC Carter, M Vershinin, SP Gross - Biophysical journal, 2008 - cell.com
… Unlike Carter and Cross, we calculate the probability of observing a particular t-value for
a given degree of freedom (P(t,df), calculated using the built-in LabVIEW function) with the …

[PDF][PDF] Transient sodium current at subthreshold voltages: activation by EPSP waveforms

BC Carter, AJ Giessel, BL Sabatini, BP Bean - Neuron, 2012 - cell.com

INTRODUCTION: Endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation (ECP) has been shown to be a useful
adjunct in the management of a variety of difficult pediatric and adult glaucomas. This study …

Postsynaptic, not presynaptic NMDA receptors are required for spike-timing-dependent LTD induction

BC Carter, CE Jahr - Nature neuroscience, 2016 - nature.com
Long-term depression (LTD) between cortical layer 4 spiny stellate cells and layer 2/3 pyramidal
cells requires the activation of NMDA receptors (NMDARs). In young rodents, this form …
