| ERG current in repolarizing plateau potentials in dopamine neurons (Canavier et al 2007) | |
| "Blocking the small-conductance (SK) calcium-activated potassium channel promotes burst firing in dopamine neurons both in vivo and in vitro. ... We focus on the underlying plateau potential oscillation generated in the presence of both apamin and TTX, so that action potentials are not considered. We find that although the plateau potentials are mediated by a voltage-gated Ca2+ current, they do not depend on the accumulation of cytosolic Ca2+, then use a computational model to test the hypothesis that the slowly voltage-activated ether-a-go-go–related gene (ERG) potassium current repolarizes the plateaus. The model, which includes a material balance on calcium, is able to reproduce the time course of both membrane potential and somatic calcium concentration, and can also mimic the induction of plateau potentials by the calcium chelator BAPTA."
