of diabetes mellitus and its associated metabolic and neuronal comorbidities. The insulin …

The voltage-gated potassium channel, Kv1.3, contributes a large proportion of the current in
mitral cell neurons of the olfactory bulb where it assists to time the firing patterns of action …

Gene-targeted deletion of the predominant Shaker potassium channel, Kv1.3, in the mitral
cells of the olfactory bulb, decreases the number of presynaptic, odorant receptor (OR)-…

Background Neurotrophins are important regulators of growth and regeneration, and acutely,
they can modulate the activity of voltage-gated ion channels. Previously we have shown …
