Popis: Anticonvulsants targeting KMechanisms underlying epileptogenesis with A-channel inhibition and antiepileptic actions of A-channel activation were investigated with electrophysiological, pharmacological, optogenetic, and behavioral approaches.Pre-synaptic KTrans-synaptic voltage-dependent A-channels serve as a biophysical-biochemical transducer responsible for a novel form of synaptic plasticity. Such a network-level switch into and out of the oscillatory mode may underlie a wide scope of telencephalic information processing or, at its extreme, epileptic seizures. A-channels thus constitute a potential target of antiepileptic therapy.
