Developmental Regulation of Small-Conductance Ca2+-Activated K+ Channel Expression and Function in Rat Purkinje Neurons

Abstract: Calcium transients play an important role in the early and later phases of differentiation and maturation of single neurons and neuronal networks. Small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels of the SK type modulate membrane excitability and are important determinants of the firing properties of central neurons. Increases in the intracellular calcium concentration activate SK channels, leading to a hyperpolarization of the membrane potential, which in turn reduces the calcium inflow into the cell.

“…3c Right). PCs from both WT and BK Ϫ/Ϫ mice showed two distinct spontaneous firing patterns (28,29): tonic-firing PCs vs. repetitive bursting PCs (Fig. 3b) and the proportions of these were not statistically different between BK Ϫ/Ϫ (20.0% tonic, 26.7% bursting) and WT mice (53.3% tonic, 46.7% bursting) (Fig.…”

“…Both SK and BK channels are present in Purkinje neurons (Jacquin and Gruol, 1999;Cingolani et al, 2002;Edgerton and Reinhart, 2003;Khodakhah, 2002b, 2003) and both contribute to burst firing in dissociated Purkinje cells (Swensen and Bean, 2003). BK channels also contribute to repolarization of dendritic calcium spikes (Edgerton and Reinhart, 2003).…”

“…A striking feature of spontaneously active Purkinje neurons is their tendency to fire in bursts. In dissociated cells (Swensen and Bean, 2003), in cerebellar slices (Cingolani et al, 2002;Womack and Khodakhah, 2002a), and in vivo (Jaeger and Bower, 1994), Purkinje neurons exhibit trains of spontaneous bursts that often arise from their intrinsic membrane properties (Womack and Khodakhah, 2002a;Swensen and Bean, 2003).…”
