TL;DR: The crystal structure of different Kir channels is opening the way to understanding the structure-function relationships of this simple but diverse ion channel family.

TL;DR: A realistically shaped three‐dimensional single‐neuron model was constructed for each of four principal cell types in the neocortex in order to infer their contributions to magnetoencephalography (MEG) and electroencephalographic signals.

TL;DR: This study examined whether evoked magnetic fields and intra‐ and extracellular potentials from longitudinal CA3 slices of guinea‐pig can be interpreted within a single theoretical framework that incorporates ligand‐ and voltage‐sensitive conductances in the dendrites and soma of the pyramidal cells.

TL;DR: A mathematical model was used to analyse the contributions of different types of ionic currents in the pyramidal cells of longitudinal CA3 slices to the magnetic fields and field potentials generated by this preparation and found the intrinsic conductances were found to be more important than the synaptic conductances in determining the shape and magnitude of Q.

TL;DR: A computational model, which reconstitutes unidirectional K+ transport by incorporating channels and transporters in the lateral wall and connects this transport to hair cell transcellular K+ fluxes, simulates the circulation current flowing between the endolymph and the perilymph.
