Abstract excerpt
The Tottering (cacna1a(tg)) mouse arose as a consequence of a spontaneous mutation in cacna1a, the gene encoding the pore-forming subunit of the pre-synaptic P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channel (VGCC, Ca(V)2.1). The mouse phenotype includes ataxia and intermittent myoclonic seizures which have been attributed to impaired excitatory neurotransmission at cerebellar granule cell (CGC) parallel fiber-Purkinje cell...
