Calcium ions play critical roles in neuronal development. Many excitable cells promote calcium influx across their surface membrane during early stages of differentiation, which can trigger further elevation of intracellular calcium by release from stores. Several distinct types of spontaneous elevations of intracellular calcium occur during development of amphibian spinal neurons, both in culture and in the intact spinal cord. Rapid spikes and slow waves originate by different mechanisms and have separate functions. Spikes are required for neurotransmitter expression and channel modulation. Waves occurring in growth cones appear to regulate neurite extension.
