Summary

This review explores how metabolic processes regulate neuron function. It examines how electrical activity in neurons is linked to RNA synthesis and structural changes. The study suggests that calcium ions may initiate these changes during excitation. Researchers also looked at how electroexcitable and chemosensitive structures in the membrane interact. They found that metabolic reactions could serve as intermediaries between chemoreceptors and electrical responses. The findings suggest that intracellular messengers play a role in regulating receptors and channels. The authors propose that multiple metabolic systems may control neuron activity at the same time. These conclusions are based on a synthesis of existing literature on the topic.
