TREK for High-Speed and High-Frequency Conduction through the Axon
Abstract
In this issue of Neuron, Kanda et al. (2019) find that the two-pore domain potassium channels TRAAK and TREK1 drive axonal action potential repolarization for high-speed and high-frequency nervous impulses in mammalian myelinated nerves.
