May 26, 2021 · Neuromodulators trigger second messenger cascades that affect neural circuits in two broad ways: (1) changing the excitability or temporal pattern of neuron activity and (2) altering the strength of synaptic connections between neurons (Marder and Bucher 2001; Dickinson 2006).

Jul 24, 2022 · modulation –> neuromodulation alteration in the effectiveness of voltage gated or ligand gated ion channels by changing the characteristics of current flow through the channels. The mechanism is thought to involve second messenger systems.
Neuromodulation is the physiological process by which a given neuron uses one or more chemicals to regulate diverse populations of neurons. Neuromodulators typically bind to metabotropic, G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) to initiate a second messenger signaling cascade that induces a broad, long-lasting signal.
Regulation of Biological Systems tutorials are focused on the modulation of biological systems from cell to population levels. The course starts with the principles of negative feedback control, and how it regulates blood sugar, water, and temperature in humans.
- The subsystems involved in bacterial chemotaxis (from Egbert et al. 2010) Full size image. Indeed, the classical model of chemotaxis (see Eisenbach 2004; Wadhams and Armitage 2004) describes the functioning of the whole mechanism of control of movement as operationally independent from metabolism, even if metabolism must provide the energy for movement and ensure the synthesis and maintenance of the components of the subsystems involved.
- Schematic representation of Deamer’s idea of a basic feedback loop operating in vesicles during an early stage of origins of life. Those vesicles that manage to synthesize oligopeptides, whose assembly at the membrane interface can increase the permeability to nutrients (X, Y and Z in the graph), would reinforce their metabolism (thickened internal cycle of reactions).
- Scheme of Gánti’s chemoton with the three coupled cycles: a metabolic cycle, a template replication cycle and a compartment (Moreno and Mossio 2015: 26.
- Feedback inhibition of an enzyme E by a product metabolite N. Full size image. These features make allosteric feedback inhibition a borderline case, because it is a rather sophisticated dynamic stability mechanism.
