Shal/K(v)4 channels are required for maintaining excitability during repetitive firing and normal locomotion in Drosophila.

Rhythmic behaviors, such as walking and breathing, involve the coordinated activity of central pattern generators in the CNS, sensory feedback from the PNS, to motoneuron output to muscles. Unraveling the intrinsic electrical properties of these cellular components is essential to understanding this...
