Epilepsy is often associated with altered expression or function of ion channels. One example of such a channelopathy is the reduction of A-type potassium currents in the hippocampal CA1 region. The underlying mechanisms of reduced A-type channel function in epilepsy are unclear. Here, we show that inhibiting a single microRNA, miR-324-5p, which targets the pore-forming A-type potassium channel subunit Kv4.2, selectively increased A-type potassium currents in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons in ...[more]
