A new study provides the first biological evidence that neurons are finely “tuning” their own molecular-level machinery to regulate this flow of ions and thus their electrical charge.
The research is in Current Biology. (full access paywall)
Research: “Activity-Dependent Feedback Regulates Correlated Ion Channel mRNA Levels in Single Identified Motor Neurons” by Simone Temporal, Kawasi M. Lett, and David J. Schulz in Current Biology. doi:10.1016/j.cub.2014.06.067
Image: The researchers tested their hypothesis using a cluster of neurons called the stomatogastric ganglion that is at the center of a network of nerves and muscles that helps process food in the Jonah crab.
