Cholecystokinin tunes firing of an electrically distinct subset of arcuate nucleus neurons by activating A-Type potassium channels.
- Abstract:
-
The physiological activity of hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) neurons is critical for dynamic maintenance of body energy homeostasis, and its malfunction can result in common metabolic disorders, such as obesity. It is therefore of interest to determine which set of ion channels shapes electrical activity in the ARC. Whole-cell patch clamp of ARC neurons in mouse brain slices identified three electrophysiologically distinct types of neurons. These were distinguished by their rebound "signa...
