Abstract
Recent research has shown the importance of the spatial and temporal a spects of calcium signals, which depend upon regenerative properties o f the inositol trisphosphate and ryanodine receptors that regulate the release of calcium from internal stores. Initiation sites have been f ound to spontaneously release calcium, recognized as 'hot spots' or 's parks', and can trigger a wave that spreads through a process of calci um-induced calcium release.
