Journal ArticleDOI
Intermediate conductance calcium-activated potassium channels modulate summation of parallel fiber input in cerebellar Purkinje cells
Jordan D. T. Engbers,Dustin Anderson,Hadhimulya Asmara,Renata Rehak,W. Hamish Mehaffey,Shahid Hameed,Bruce E. McKay,Mirna Kruskic,Gerald W. Zamponi,Ray W. Turner +9 more
TL;DR: KCa3.1 channels contribute to a high-pass filter that allows Purkinje cells to respond preferentially to high-frequency parallel fiber bursts characteristic of sensory input, effectively suppressing low frequencies of parallel fiber input.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuronal expression of the intermediate conductance calcium-activated potassium channel KCa3.1 in the mammalian central nervous system
Ray W. Turner,Mirna Kruskic,Michelle Teves,Teresa Scheidl-Yee,Shahid Hameed,Gerald W. Zamponi +5 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that KCa3.1 channels are expressed in the CNS with a differential pattern of distribution between cells, suggesting important functional roles for these calcium-activated potassium channels in regulating the excitability of central neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
IKCa-Cav3 complex creates a high pass filter for parallel fiber input in cerebellar Purkinje cells
Jordan D. T. Engbers,Dustin Anderson,Renata Rehak,Hamish W Mehaffey,Bruce E. McKay,Mirna Kruskic,Gerald W. Zamponi,Ray W. Turner +7 more
TL;DR: This work is the first to demonstrate the expression of IKCa channels in central neurons, its association with Cav3 channels and the role of this Cav3-IKCa complex in controlling the response of PCs to PF inputs.
