Attenuated ectopic action potential firing in parvalbumin expressing interneurons in a mouse model of Dravet Syndrome
2024-10-02
Abstract excerpt
Dravet syndrome is caused by heterozygous loss-of-function variants in SCN1A , which encodes the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.1. Our recent work suggests that a primary pathogenic mechanism of Dravet syndrome is impaired action potential propagation along axons of cortical parvalbumin-positive fast-spiking GABAergic interneurons (PVINs). Ectopic action potentials (EAPs) are action potentials that initiate di...
