Abstract
The levels of intracellular free calcium in nerve cells are critical for the activity of many enzymes and for several cell functions such as, for example exocytosis [2] and its regulation [7]. Free calcium levels are regulated by buffering systems compartmentation and extrusion from the cell. Calcium entry into nerve cells is also of importance in the regulation of gene expression. In particular in hippocampal cells it has been demonstrated that according to the route of calcium entry different genes are activated [1].
