Abstract

Pathophysiological elevation of intracellular calcium concentration ([$Ca^{2+}$]$_i$) in the neuron has been considered as an important responsible factor in the neuronal cell damages. However, the mechanism of increase of [$Ca^{2+}$]$_i$ through ryanodine receptor (RyR), the relationship between [$Ca^{2+}$]$_i$ level and cell damages have not been fully demonstrated. (omitted)
