The A-current modulates learning via NMDA receptors containing the NR2B subunit.

Synaptic plasticity involves short- and long-term events, although the molecular mechanisms that underlie these processes are not fully understood. The transient A-type K(+) current (I(A)) controls the excitability of the dendrites from CA1 pyramidal neurons by regulating the back-propagation of act...
