A biophysical perspective on the resilience of neuronal excitability across timescales

S Marom, E Marder - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2023 - nature.com
Neuronal membrane excitability must be resilient to perturbations that can take place over
timescales from milliseconds to months (or even years in long-lived animals). A great deal of …

[HTML][HTML] Disease-causing Slack potassium channel mutations produce opposite effects on excitability of excitatory and inhibitory neurons

J Wu, IH Quraishi, Y Zhang, M Bromwich… - Cell reports, 2024 - cell.com
The KCNT1 gene encodes the sodium-activated potassium channel Slack (KCNT1, K Na
1.1), a regulator of neuronal excitability. Gain-of-function mutations in humans cause cortical …
