Mutations in voltage-dependent sodium channels cause severe autism/intellectual disability. In this issue of Neuron, Spratt et al. (2019) show that lowering expression of Nav1.2 channels attenuates backpropagation of action potentials into dendrites of cortical neurons, preventing spike-timing-dependent synaptic plasticity.
电压门控钠离子通道的突变可导致严重自闭症/智力障碍。在本期《神经元》杂志上,Spratt 等人(2019)表明,降低 Nav1.2 通道的表达可减弱动作电位逆行传入皮质神经元树突,从而阻止了依赖于发放时间的突触可塑性。
