Abstract

The recent cloning of the genes encoding the channel subunits underlying the h-current (Ih) by three different groups has renewed interest in the functional role of this unusual conductance (Gauss et al. 1998; Ludwig et al. 1998; Santoro et al. 1998). This often maligned current (termed If for “funny” in cardiac tissue and IQ for “queer” in the hippocampus) is activated by hyperpolarization beyond approximately −50 to −70 mV, does not inactivate, is carried by Na+ and K+ ions, and slowly depolarizes the cell toward its equilibrium potential of approximately −30 mV (reviewed by Pape 1996). Although relatively small in maximal conductance, this current can form a significant portion of the total membrane conductance at subthreshold membrane potentials, precisely the region of membrane voltage in which synaptic and nonsynaptic computations occur, and therefore it may contribute to the responsiveness and pattern of activity generated by neurons. The ability of neurotransmitters to modulate the voltage dependence of Ih through the production of cyclic nucleotides imparts an additional level of flexibility.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
