| Abstract | The decrease in serum zinc is linked to the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis activation that increases the serum glucocorticoid level, indicating the importance of zinc homeostasis in physiological function. Zinc homeostasis in the brain is maintained through the blood–brain and blood–cerebrospinal fluid barriers. At young age, however, the increase in zinc concentration in the brain extracellular fluid along with brain development is suppressed under chronic zinc deficiency, followed by suppression of the increase in zinc in the synaptic vesicles that serves as the Zn2+ signal. Zn2+ is released from glutamatergic (zincergic) neuron terminals and serves as the Zn2+ signal in the intracellular (cytosol) compartment through calcium-permeable channels in addition to the extracellular compartment. Synaptic Zn2+ signals may participate in synaptic plasticity such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and cognitive function. Both the lack and excess of synaptic Zn2+ signals may affect them. Because there is limited evidence for the significance of Zn2+ signaling, the exact relationship between synaptic Zn2+ function and cognitive activity remains to be solved. Synaptic Zn2+ homeostasis seems to be controlled by the two major pools of Zn2+, i.e., the synaptic vesicle and the extracellular compartment, in the brain. Synaptic Zn2+ homeostasis is affected by the enhanced glutamatergic (zincergic) neuron activity. This paper summarizes the significance of synaptic Zn2+ homeostasis in zincergic neuron activity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
