KCNQ channels regulate age-related memory impairment:KCNQ regulates age-related memory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In humans KCNQ2/3 heteromeric channels form an M-current that acts as a brake on neuronal excitability, with mutations causing a form of epilepsy. The M-current has been shown to be a key regulator of neuronal plasticity underlying associative memory and

Neuropathic pain and Kv7 voltage-gated potassium channels: The potential role of Kv7 activators in the treatment of neuropathic pain

open access: yesMolecular Pain, 2019
Neuropathic pain conditions severely and chronically affect the quality of life in a large human population, but the pain conditions are not adequately managed due to poor understanding of their underlying mechanisms. There is a pressing need for further

KCNQ/Kv7 channel regulation of hippocampal gamma-frequency firing in the absence of synaptic transmission

open access: yes, 2006
Synchronous neuronal firing can be induced in hippocampal slices in the absence of synaptic transmission by lowering extracellular Ca2+ and raising extracellular K+.

Participation of calcium-permeable AMPA receptors in the regulation of epileptiform activity of hippocampal neurons

open access: yesFrontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience
IntroductionEpileptiform activity is the most striking result of hyperexcitation of a group of neurons that can occur in different brain regions and then spread to other sites.

Physiological and pharmacological modulation of Kv7 channels

open access: yes, 2017
Voltage-dependent potassium channels are spanning-membrane integral proteins involved in several and diverse physiological and pathological processes such as immune response or cardiovascular function. The first goal of this study was to elucidate the role of KV7.1/KV7.5, as a heterotetramer complex, in vascular smooth muscle.

Discovery of a potent, Kv7.3-selective potassium channel opener from a Polynesian traditional botanical anticonvulsant

open access: yesCommunications Chemistry
Plants remain an important source of biologically active small molecules with high therapeutic potential. The voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channel formed by Kv7.2/3 (KCNQ2/3) heteromers is a major target for anticonvulsant drug development.
