Action Potential Firing Patterns Regulate Dopamine Release via Voltage-Sensitive Dopamine D2 Autoreceptors in Mouse Striatum In Vivo.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

Dopamine (DA) in the striatum is vital for motor and cognitive behaviors. Midbrain dopaminergic neurons generate both tonic and phasic action potential (AP) firing patterns in behavior mice. Besides AP numbers, whether and how different AP firing patterns per se modulate DA release remain largely unknown.

Voltage-gated potassium channels (VGKCs) comprise the largest and most complex families of ion channels. Approximately 70 genes encode VGKC alpha subunits, which assemble into functional tetrameric channel complexes. These subunits can also combine to form heteromeric channels, significantly expanding the potential diversity of VGKCs.

Background: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common cause of chronic cough, linked to dysregulated airway C- and Aδ-fibres through inflammatory mediators. Despite the limited efficacy of current antitussive therapies, recent studies show that the Na1.7 inhibitor can block cough in naïve guinea pigs.

Introduction: Hypoalgesic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may provide critical insights into human abdominal pain. This condition was previously associated with homozygosity for a polymorphism (rs6795970, A1073V; 1073 val/val ) related to Na v 1.8, a voltage-gated sodium channel preferentially expressed on nociceptors.
