Activity-mediated accumulation of potassium induces a switch in firing pattern and neuronal excitability type.

During normal neuronal activity, ionic concentration gradients across a neuron's membrane are often assumed to be stable. Prolonged spiking activity, however, can reduce transmembrane gradients and affect voltage dynamics. Based on mathematical modeling, we investigated the impact of neuronal a...
