Abstract excerpt
The abnormal function of the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv10.2 can induce epilepsy. However, the physiological function of Kv10.2 in the central nervous system remains unclear. In this study, we found that Kv10.2 knockout (KO) increased the complexity of neurons in the CA3 subarea of hippocampus. Kv10.2 KO led to enlarged somata, elongated dendritic length, and increased the number of dendritic tips in...
