Synaptic excitation is regulated by the postsynaptic dSK channel at the Drosophila larval NMJ.

Journal of neurophysiology - 15 Jun 2014

Gertner Daniel M, Desai Sunil, Lnenicka Gregory A

Abstract excerpt

In the mammalian central nervous system, the postsynaptic small-conductance Ca(2+)-dependent K(+) (SK) channel has been shown to reduce postsynaptic depolarization and limit Ca(2+) influx through N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors. To examine further the role of the postsynaptic SK channel in synaptic transmission, we studied its action at the Drosophila larval neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Repetitive synaptic...
