Low-voltage-activated A-current controls the firing dynamics of mouse hypothalamic orexin neurons.
The activity of hypothalamic neurons that release the neuropeptides orexin-A and orexin-B is essential for normal wakefulness. Orexin neurons fire spontaneously and are hyperpolarized and inhibited by physiological neuromodulators, but the intrinsic determinants of their electrical activity are poor...
