Abstract excerpt
During neuronal differentiation and maturation, electrical excitability is essential for proper gene expression and the formation of synapses. The expression of ion channels is crucial for this process; in particular, voltage-gated K(+) channels function as the key determinants of membrane excitability. Previously, we reported that the A-type K(+) current (I(A)) and Kv4.2 K(+) channel subunit expression increased...
