The generally held view
of these
processes is that neurotransmitter - induced modulation
of the most widely expressed Ca2 + channels in these cells (N -, P / Q - and L -
type) follows two distinct pathways: a direct membrane - delimited Gi / o - protein - induced inhibition
of N - and P / Q -
type and a remote
cAMP - mediated facilitation
of L - channels.
The boot
camp helps students become familiar with the
process and the
type of questions to expect, and getting accepted to those first schools builds their confidence and gets them excited about applying to the other 11 schools.
