Abstract excerpt
Ca(V)2.1, which is highly expressed in the nervous system, plays an essential role in presynaptic neurotransmitter release. Although recent data suggest that the antiepileptic drug levetiracetam (LEV) inhibits presynaptic Ca(V)2.1 activity, the precise physiological role of Ca(V)2.1/LEV-regulated emotional performance has not been elucidated. We examined whether Ca(V)2.1/LEV mediates emotional behavior using a...
