Resumen

Los científicos descubrieron que la activación de los receptores de glutamato debilita las sinapsis eléctricas entre las neuronas inhibidoras en el núcleo reticular del tálamo de la rata. Este hallazgo arroja luz sobre la modulación de las sinapsis eléctricas en el cerebro.

Hormonal Regulation

Hormones regulate a significant portion of digestion through activation of the neuroendocrine system. The neuroendocrine system of digestion contains many different hormones all with multiple functions that are both, directly and indirectly, involved in digestion.

Feedback Loops

In most cases, excessive hormone production is prevented by negative feedback—a loop that starts with a stimulus inducing the release of a particular substance, like a hormone, to maintain a certain level before triggering a signal that results in a decrease in further release of the hormone.
