KATP and TRPM2-like channels couple metabolic status to resting membrane potential of octopus neurons in the mouse ventral cochlear nucleus

ATP-sensitive potassium (K-ATP) channels and transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) channels are commonly expressed both pre- and postsynaptically in the central nervous system (CNS). We hypothesized that K-ATP and TRPM2 may couple metabolic status to the resting membrane potential of octopus neurons of the mouse ventral cochlear nucleus (VCN).
