Text

Calcium signaling and LTP (which relies on calcium signaling for neurotransmitter release) were two of the best-supported pathways identified in pathway analysis (although these results did not meet FDR-defined significance after correction for the number of pathways evaluated). Thus, potassium and calcium transport and signaling mechanisms appear to play essential roles in OD risk.
