Since Bluesky is decidedly short on ephys traces, here’s a bunch of spikes recorded from a hippocampal interneuron on an entirely different rig/system than I normally use. #actionpotentials
Spikes!!! From a hippocampal interneuron

How can #neurons fulfil similar roles while exhibiting distinct properties between species? This study shows how geometry & K+ channel expression in the AIS can support rapid #ActionPotentials in human #interneurons, despite slow somatic membrane responses @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4rONF2G
Fewer Kv1 channels in the axon initial segment make human neurons easier to activate than mouse neurons. Credit Ádám Tiszlavicz.

Are action potentials in vertebrate muscle essential for contraction? This study of #zebrafish lacking #SodiumChannel NaV1.4 reveals that NaVs are dispensable for #muscle contraction, so the need for muscle #ActionPotentials can vary between vertebrates @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/42EXQwx
Top: Snapshots of the representative escape responses of WT (upper) and NaVDKO (lower) zebrafish at 4 dpf in normal water. Images were captured every 2 ms. Scale bar: 1 mm. Middle: Representative Ca2+ imaging of WT myocytes at 3 dpf embryos. Numbers below the images indicate time from the beginning of the recording. Fluorescent intensity is shown in color. Bottom: Ca2+ imaging of WT myocytes at 5 dpf in the presence of 1 μM TTX.
