Availability of low-threshold Ca2+ current in retinal ganglion cells (Lee SC et al. 2003)
"... we measured T-type current of isolated goldfish retinal ganglion cells with perforated-patch voltageclamp methods in solutions containing a normal extracellular Ca2+ concentration. The voltage sensitivities and rates of current activation, inactivation, deactivation, and recovery from inactivation were similar to those of expressed +1G (CaV3.1) Ca2+ channel clones, except that the rate of deactivation was significantly faster. We reproduced the amplitude and kinetics of measured T currents with a numerical simulation based on a kinetic model developed for an +1G Ca2+ channel. Finally, we show that this model predicts the increase of T-type current made available between resting potential and spike threshold by repetitive hyperpolarizations presented at rates that are within the bandwidth of signals processed in situ by these neurons."
