Photoactivatable drugs targeting ligand-gated ion channels open up new opportunities for
light-guided therapeutic interventions. Photoactivable toxins targeting ion channels have the …

In neocortical layer‐5 pyramidal neurons, the action potential (AP) is generated in the axon
initial segment (AIS) when the membrane potential (V m ) reaches the threshold for activation …

The back-propagation of an action potential (AP) from the axon/soma to the dendrites plays
a central role in dendritic integration. This process involves an intricate orchestration of …

The toxin AaH-II, from the scorpion Androctonus australis Hector venom, is a 64 amino acid
peptide that targets voltage-gated Na + channels (VGNCs) and slows their inactivation. …

Monitoring Na + influx in the axon initial segment (AIS) at high spatial and temporal resolution
is fundamental to understanding the generation of an action potential (AP). Here, we …

Ultrafast Ca 2+ imaging using low-affinity fluorescent indicators allows the precise measurement
of the kinetics of fast Ca 2+ currents mediated by voltage-gated Ca 2+ channels. Thus …

In the mammalian brain the shape of neuronal potentials is the result of the sequential activation,
inactivation and de-activation of several voltage gated (VG) ion channels, belonging to …
