Role of Kv1 potassium channels in regulating dopamine release and presynaptic D2 receptor function. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Dopamine (DA) release in the CNS is critical for motor control and motivated behaviors. Dysfunction of its regulation is thought to be implicated in drug abuse and in diseases such as schizophrenia and Parkinson's.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 Coincidence detector neurons of the medial superior olive (MSO) are sensitive to interaural time differences in the range of a few tens of microseconds. The biophysical basis for this remarkable acuity is a short integration time constant of the membrane,

Gas Signaling Molecules and Mitochondrial Potassium Channels
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018 Recently, gaseous signaling molecules, such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitric oxide (NO), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which were previously considered to be highly toxic, have been of increasing interest due to their beneficial effects at low ...

Human sperm ion channel (dys)function:implications for fertilization [PDF]
, 2019 BACKGROUND: Intensive research on sperm ion channels has identified members of several ion channel families in both mouse and human sperm. Gene knock-out studies have unequivocally demonstrated the importance of the calcium and potassium conductances in ...

Biomolecules, 2021 Potassium ions can cross both the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes by means of multiple routes. A few potassium-permeable ion channels exist in the outer membrane, while in the inner membrane, a multitude of different potassium-selective and ...

Potassium channels in C. elegans [PDF]
, 2005 Ion channels are the "transistors" (electronic switches) of the brain that generate and propagate electrical signals in the aqueous environment of the brain and nervous system. Potassium channels are particularly important because, not only do they shape

Central cavity dehydration as a gating mechanism of potassium channels
Nature Communications, 2023 The hydrophobic gating model, in which ion permeation is inhibited by the hydrophobicity, rather than a physical occlusion of the nanopore, functions in various ion channels including potassium channels.
