Studies of signal transduction and second messenger pathways are areas of overlap. Studies of RNA processing and regulation should be reviewed by CMN-4 when the focus is on receptor regulation. Studies of neuropeptide processing could go to either END of CMN-4. There is overlap in the area of synaptic function at the neuromuscular junction. Some overlap in the area of neuroactive drugs.
Considerable overlap exists in the area of intracellular calcium signaling.
This study section reviews applications on genetic approaches to understanding nervous system function, basic studies of gene expression and model systems. This includes studies on transcriptional and translational regulation, gene mapping, gene characterization, and transgenic animal systems. Emphasis is on activity-dependent gene regulation and cell plasticity in neurons and glia, rather than development or differentiation. RNA Processing and Regulation . Genomics and Neurogenetics .
