The role of Kv7 channels in hippocampal neurons, memory, and behavior. (A) Function of Kv7 channels in excitatory pyramidal neuron and GABAergic inhibitory neuron in the hippocampus. AP, action potential; RMP, resting membrane potential; EPSP, excitatory postsynaptic potential; ADP, afterdepolarization; mAHP, medium afterhyperpolarization; sAHP, slow afterhyperpolarization; sEPSC, spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic current; mEPSC, miniature excitatory postsynaptic current; PPF, paired-pulse facilitation; LTP, long-term potential; sIPSC, spontaneous inhibitory postsynaptic current; PV, parvalbumin; and eEPSC, evoked excitatory postsynaptic current. (B) Effects of pharmacological or genetic inhibition of Kv7 channels on memory and behavior. HP, hippocampus; PFC, pre-frontal cortex; AMPH, amphetamine; and EPM, elevated plus maze.
