    Researchers at Meduni University in Vienna have found that neurons have an emergency backup system that allows them to remain functional


    In their preclinical study, a team led by Matej Hotka and Helmut Kubista from the Department of Neurophysiology and Neuropharmacology at the MedUni Center for Physiology and Pharmacology in Vienna established three regulatory systems


    The researchers also observed that the deployment of an emergency backup system for neurons follows a hierarchy: the first two regulatory mechanisms share the responsibility for backups, and the third mechanism only works if the other two mechanisms are not fully functional


    Neurons are responsible for the processing and transmission of information in vivo


    This study found that the role of G3PS in acute defense against neuronal emergencies may be helpful in the study of a variety of brain dysfunctions, such as brain dysfunction caused by congenital defects in the mas regulatory mechanism
