Ethanol Modulates Spontaneous Calcium Waves in Axonal Growth Cones in Vitro

In developing neurons the frequency of long duration, spontaneous, transient calcium (Ca2+) elevations localized to the growth cone, is inversely related to the rate of axon elongation and increases several fold when axons pause. Here we report that these spontaneous Ca2+ transients with slow kineti...
