Metabotropic-mediated kainate receptor regulation of IsAHP and excitability in pyramidal cells

Kainate receptors (KARs) on CA1 pyramidal cells make no detectable contribution to EPSCs. We report that these receptors have a metabotropic function, as shown previously for CA1 interneurons. Brief kainate exposure caused long-lasting inhibition of a postspike potassium current (IsAHP) in CA1 pyram...
