Analysis of tetrodotoxin-sensitive sodium and low voltage-activated calcium channels in developing mouse retinal horizontal cells

Expression patterns of voltage-gated ion channels determine the spatio-temporal dynamics of ion currents that supply excitable neurons in developing tissue with proper electrophysiological properties. The purpose of the study was to identify fast cationic inward currents in mouse retinal horizontal cells (HCs) and describe their biophysical properties at different developmental stages. We also aimed to reveal their physiological role in shaping...
