A sodium leak current regulates pacemaker activity of adult central pattern generator neurons in Lymnaea stagnalis.
The resting membrane potential of the pacemaker neurons is one of the essential mechanisms underlying rhythm generation. In this study, we described the biophysical properties of an uncharacterized channel (U-type channel) and investigated the role of the channel in the rhythmic activity of a respir...
