Improved HCN channels in pyramidal neurons and their new expression levels in pericytes and astrocytes in the gerbil hippocampal CA1 subfield following transient ischemia

Hyperpolarization‑activated cyclic nucleotide‑gated (HCN) channels have been known to participate in the regulation of neuronal excitability, synaptic transmission and long‑term potentiation in the hippocampus. The present study investigated transient ischemia‑induced changes of HCN1 and HCN2 expressions in the Cornu Ammonis 1 (CA1) subfield of the hippocampus in gerbils subjected to 5 min transient global cerebral ischemia (tgCI). Neuronal...
