Serotonergic modulation of the afterhyperpolarization (AHP) contributes to the regulation of the excitability of the leech S cell, a neuron critical for sensitization of the shortening reflex. Pharmacological and physiological data suggest that three currents contribute to the S cell's afterhyperpolarization: a charybdotoxin-sensitive, fast calcium-dependent potassium current (fAHP); a tubocurare-sensitive, calcium-dependent potassium current (mAHP); and, a saxitoxin-sensitive, afterdepolarization current (ADP). This single-compartment model of the S cell is constructed using fAHP, mAHP and ADP currents, and shows that reduction of the conductances to mimic the effects of serotonin is sufficient to enhance excitability (repetitive firing).
