This important computational study investigates homeostatic plasticity mechanisms that neurons may employ to achieve and maintain stable target activity patterns. The work extends previous analyses of ...

Ion channels are involved in every thought ... Crystallization of a voltage-gated K + channel has not yet been achieved. Figure 4: Three ions in the potassium channel. From the medical point ...

Sodium channels are ion channels that transport sodium ions across cellular membranes. Sodium channels are generally either ligand-gated or voltage-gated. In voltage-gated sodium channels ...

They calculated the expected electrical current measurements until finally, they generated recordings that appeared to be ion channels, which convinced them that they were on the right track. Their ...

(You may know that dihydropyridines are widely used antihypertensive drugs that reduce blood pressure by inhibiting the calcium channels that provide the calcium influx that supports contraction - ...
