Abstract
It has been almost 4 years since we revealed the solution for the enigma of the so-called 'calcium paradox'. Our discovery of the involvement of Ca2+/cAMP signaling interaction in the regulation of neurotransmitter release, and neuro protection, was clearly a serendipitous discovery. It has produced new avenues in the understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease. Interestingly, this discovery initiated decades ago when numerous clinical studies have reported that use of L-type Ca2+ channel blockers (CCBs) by hypertensive patients decreased arterial pressure, but produced typical symptoms of sympathetic hyperactivity, such as tachycardia and increment of catecholamine plasma levels.
