In this study, we want to evaluate the relative importance of three factors on site-independence of somatic EPSP amplitude: (1) "passive normalization" in non-uniform passive models, (2) voltage-gated channels which are active in the resting membrane potential, and (3) synaptic scaling. Using...
Here, we systematically examined the relationship between gain and voltage-gated ion channels in a conductance-based, tonically-active, model neuron. Changes in expression (conductance density) of voltage-gated channels increased (Ca2+ channel), reduced (K+ channels), or produced little effect (h-...

This attentuation is much greater than would be expected on the basis of the passive properties of the dendrite. The reason for this exaggerated effect of the dendrite was the alteration of the cable properties of the dendrite that occurred when the voltage-gated conductance was activated (...
This can be due to the assembly of the two independent proteins into multimers that recapitulate properties of the con- tinuous channel, but it could also be possible that expression of both fragments induce the functional expression of an otherwise not detected endogenous voltage-gated channel. ...
Resonance of the membrane potential in response to a perturbing current has been demonstrated in sensory hair cells of many acoustico-lateralis systems and modelled as the result of the interaction of passive membrane properties and the magnitude and kinetics of activation and deactivation of an outw...

To understand the molecular basis underlying this mode of action, we used nuclear magnetic resonance to delineate the atomic details of the interaction between the VSD of the voltage-gated potassium channel KvAP and the spider-venom peptide VSTx1. Our data reveal that the toxin interacts with ...
The channels for K+ and Na+ are represented using variable voltage-time resistances, and the passive gates for Na+, K+, and Cl− are given by a leakage channel with resistance Rl (that is, the Thevenin's equivalent circuit of the passive channels). The function of the voltage clamp ...
