Neuronal Calcium Sensor-1 Protects Cortical Neurons from Hyperexcitation and Ca2+ Overload during Ischemia by Protecting the Population of GABAergic Neurons.

ABSTRACT: A defection of blood circulation in the brain leads to ischemia, damage, and the death of nerve cells. It is known that individual populations of GABAergic neurons are the least resistant to the damaging factors of ischemia and therefore they die first of all, which leads to impaired inhibition in neuronal networks. To date, the neuroprotective properties of a number of calcium-binding proteins (calbindin, calretinin, and parvalbumin), which are markers of GABAergic neurons, are known. Neuronal calcium sensor-1 (NCS-1) is a signaling protein that is expressed in all types of neurons and is involved in the regulation of neurotransmission. The role of NCS-1 in the protection of neurons and especially their individual populations from ischemia and hyperexcitation has not been practically stud
