Plasticity of GABAA receptor diffusion dynamics at the axon initial segment

Plasticity of GABAA receptor diffusion dynamics at the axon initial segment

The axon initial segment (AIS), a site of action potential initiation, undergoes activity-dependent homeostatic repositioning to fine-tune neuronal activity. However, little is known about the behaviour of GABAA receptors (GABAARs) at synapses made onto the axon and especially the AIS. Here, we stud...
