Voltage-gated ion channels localized to dendritic membranes can shape signal processing in central neurons. This study describes the distribution and functional role of a high voltage-activating K(+) channel in the electrosensory lobe (ELL) of an apteronotid weakly electric fish. We identify a homolog of the Kv3.3 K(+) channel, AptKv3.3, that exhibits a high density of mRNA expression and immunolabel that is distributed over the entire soma-dendritic axis of ELL pyramidal cells. The kinetics and ...[more]
