Specific physiological interactions among neurons are traditionally attributed to chemical and electrotonic synapses. In the present review we describe a specific synaptic potential that is mediated by K+. It is speculated that this mode of communication might be prevalent in the CNS and has not yet been identified as such in other systems, because the K+ synapse is very similar phenomenologically to chemical and electrotonic synapses. We describe the concept and some experimental manipulations needed to discern the K+ synapse.
传统上，神经元之间特定的生理相互作用归因于化学突触和电紧张突触。在本综述中，我们描述了一种由钾离子介导的特定突触电位。据推测，这种通讯方式可能在中枢神经系统中普遍存在，而在其他系统中尚未被如此识别，因为钾离子突触在现象学上与化学突触和电紧张突触非常相似。我们描述了识别钾离子突触所需的概念和一些实验操作。
