Effects of cromakalim (BRL 34915) on potassium conductances in CA3 neurons of the guinea-pig hippocampus in vitro [PDF]
, 1989 The action of the potassium channel activator, cromakalim (BRL 34915), on membrane potential, input resistance and current-voltage-relationship of CA3 neurons in a slice preparation of the guinea-pig hippocampus was investigated by means of intracellular

Glia, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.Ronzano et al. show that neuronal activity promotes node‐like cluster (NLC) formation before (re)myelination by regulating β1Nav and Nav1.1, which are essential for NLC assembly. This may represent an intermediate step in activity‐driven myelination and contribute to the regulation of axonal conduction.

Effects of caerulein on the gastric motility of rats. [PDF]
, 1985 The effects of caerulein on gastric motility in urethane-anesthetized rats were studied. Caerulein administered into the lateral cerebral ventricle (i.c.v.) and jugular vein (i.v.) caused predominantly an inhibitory effect on gastric motility but ...

Efficacy of Retigabine in Treating Weakness in a Mouse Model of Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis
Muscle &Nerve, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 663-667, April 2026.ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoKPP) is an ion channelopathy causing episodic skeletal muscle weakness triggered by hypokalemia. Reduced inward rectifier K+ (Kir) channel activity contributes to membrane depolarization and paralysis, suggesting that pharmacologic activation of muscle K+ channels may restore excitability ...

Serotonin Modulates Oscillations of the Membrane Potential in Isolated Spinal Neurons from Lampreys [PDF]
, 2002 Studies were performed on spinal neurons from lampreys isolated by an enzymatic/mechanical method using pronase. The effects of 100 µM serotonin (5-HT) on membrane potential oscillations induced by a variety of excitatory amino acids were studied.

Different types of potassium transport linked to carbachol and γ-aminobutyric acid actions in rat sympathetic neurons [PDF]
, 1984 Carbachol and γ-aminobutyric acid depolarize mammalian sympathetic neurons and increase the free extracellular K+-concentration. We have used double-barrelled ion-sensitive microelectrodes to determine changes of the membrane potential and of the free ...
