Abstract excerpt
Demyelination, the loss of the insulating sheath of neurons, causes failed or slowed neuronal conduction and contributes to the neurological symptoms in multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, stroke, and dementia. In demyelinated neurons, the axonal potassium channels K v 1.1 and K v 1.2, generally under the myelin sheath, become exposed and upregulated. Therefore, imaging these channels u...
