Regulation of AMPA Receptor Currents by Mitochondrial ATP Sensitive K+ Channels in Anoxic Turtle Neurons
Mammalian neurons rapidly undergo excitotoxic cell death during anoxia, while neurons from the anoxia-tolerant painted turtle can survive without oxygen for hours without apparent damage. An anoxia-mediated decrease in AMPA receptor currents are an important part of the turtle’s natural defence howe...
