The action potential of the squid giant axon is formed by just two voltage-dependent
conductances in the cell membrane, yet mammalian central neurons typically express more …

Abstract Analysis of the Kv3 subfamily of K+ channel subunits has lead to the discovery of a
new class of neuronal voltage-gated K+ channels characterized by positively shifted voltage …

In this review we take a physiological perspective on the role of voltage‐gated potassium
channels in an identified neuron in the auditory brainstem. The large number of KCN genes …

Fast, precise, and sustained synaptic transmission at high frequency is thought to be crucial
for the task of sound localization in the auditory brainstem. However, recordings from the …

Fast-spiking GABAergic interneurons of the neocortex and hippocampus fire high-frequency
trains of brief action potentials with little spike-frequency adaptation. How these striking …

▪ Abstract Neurons in the cochlear ganglion and auditory brain stem nuclei preserve the
relative timing of action potentials passed through sequential synaptic levels. To accomplish …

Transduction of graded synaptic input into trains of all-or-none action potentials (spikes) is a
crucial step in neural coding. Hodgkin identified three classes of neurons with qualitatively …
