The transport of ions is essential to maintain electrophysiological balance on either side of the membrane, called osmotic balance, which is needed for signals to be transduced from their chemical ...

How do neurons conduct electrical impulses? Neurons conduct electrical impulses by using the Action Potential. This phenomenon is generated through the flow of positively charged ions across the ...

TREK1 was known as a voltage-independent 'background' potassium channel, but a new study suggests that protein kinase A can reversibly convert it to a voltage-dependent state. The resting membrane ...
