Kv1.1 channels mediate network excitability and feed-forward inhibition in local amygdala circuits

Abstract Kv1.1 containing potassium channels play crucial roles towards dampening neuronal excitability. Mice lacking Kv1.1 subunits (Kcna1 −/− ) display recurrent spontaneous seizures and often exhibit sudden unexpected death. Seizures in Kcna1 −/− mice resemble those in well-characterized models o...
