Critical Components for Spontaneous Activity and Rhythm Generation in Spinal Cord Circuits in Culture

Critical Components for Spontaneous Activity and Rhythm Generation in Spinal Cord Circuits in Culture

Neuronal excitability contributes to rhythm generation in central pattern generating networks (CPGs). In spinal cord CPGs, such intrinsic excitability partly relies on persistent sodium currents (INaP), whereas respiratory CPGs additionally depend on calcium-activated cation currents (ICAN). Here, w...
