Neostriatum interneuron ACh cellSomaI Calcium.Activation of M2-class muscarinic receptors in cholinergic interneurons reduces N- and P-type Ca2+ currents through a membrane-delimited pathway using a Gi/o-class G-protein (Yan Z and Surmeier DJ, 19961 ). Spike-triggered calcium entry shaped the falling phase of the action potential waveform and activated calcium-dependent potassium channels (Bennett BD et al, 20002 ).
