“…As in NMDA receptor channels, nACh receptor channels have high Ca2+ permeability (Decker and Dani, 1990;Mulle et al, 1992a,b;Vernino et al, 1992). In observations similar to ours, external Ca2+ potentiates nACh-activated currents and, at the same time, decreases the single nACh receptor channel conductance (Decker and Dani, 1990;Mulle et al, 1992a,b;Vernino et al, 1992). The nACh responses are more sensitive to the change in [Ca*+],.…”
