"The amyloid precursor protein (APP) is central to AD pathogenesis and we recently showed that its intracellular domain (AICD) could modify synaptic signal integration. We now hypothezise that AICD modifies neuron firing activity, thus contributing to the disruption of memory processes. Using cellular, electrophysiological and behavioural techniques, we showed that pathological AICD levels weakens CA1 neuron firing activity through a gene transcription-dependent mechanism. Furthermore, increased AICD production in hippocampal neurons modifies oscillatory activity, specifically in the gamma frequency range, and disrupts spatial memory task. Collectively, our data suggest that AICD pathological levels, observed in AD mouse models and in human patients, might contribute to progressive neuron homeostatic failure, driving the shift from normal ageing to AD."

Ih current	 - hyperpolarization-activated nonspecific Na and K channel
		 - contributes to the resting membrane potential
		 - controls the afterhyperpolarization

		V1/2 = -84.1 mV
		   k = 10.2
		reversal potential = -32.9 +/- 1.1 mV

at -70 mV, currents were fitted by a single exponetial of t = 2.8+/- 0.76 s
at -120 mV, two exponentials were required, t1 = 186.3+/-33.6 ms 
t2 = 1.04+/-0.16 s

Deals with Ih in CA1 pyramidal cells.  Finds that conductance density
increases with distance from the soma.

soma g = 0.0013846 mho/cm2
dendrite g (300-350 um away) = 0.0125 mho/cm2
