Abstract: &NA; Low‐voltage‐activated K+ (gKL) and hyperpolarization‐activated mixed cation conductances (gh) mediate currents, IKL and Ih, through channels of the Kv1 (KCNA) and HCN families respectively and give auditory neurons the temporal precision required for signaling… read more here.

Abstract: Significance Several classes of auditory brain stem neurons have extremely fast membranes; they are thought to be coincidence detectors and ideal for encoding rapid temporal fluctuations of sounds. Of those neurons, octopus cells are perhaps… read more here.
