Ionic conductance mechanisms contributing to the electrophysiological properties of neurons

D A Baxter et al. Curr Opin Neurobiol. 1991 Jun.

Abstract

Neurons have a multiplicity of ionic conductance mechanisms, the interactions of which determine in part the response of a neuron to chemical and electrical synaptic interactions, firing patterns, excitability, membrane potential and action-potential waveform. Several papers published in the past year have provided important new information on the role that ionic conductance mechanisms play in determining the electrophysiological properties of neurons, and how subtle differences can contribute to considerable variability of response.
