Investigations on contribution of glial inwardly-rectifying K+ current to membrane potential and ion flux: An experimental and theoretical study

The inwardly rectifying K+ current [IK(IR)] allows large inward K+ currents at potentials negative to K+ equilibrium potential (EK) and it becomes small outward K+ currents at those positive to EK. How changes of such currents enriched in glial cells can influence the functions of glial cell, neuron...
