(2019) 'Ca2+-activated K+ channels reduce network excitability, improving adaptability and energetics for transmitting and perceiving sensory information', J Neurosci 39: 7132-7154. doi: https://doi.org/10.1523/JNEUROSCI.3213-18.2019
Homeostatic plasticity in Drosophila dSlo-, dSK- and dSK-;;dSlo- null-mutants retains R1-R6 photoreceptors’ light information sampling while reducing other K+-conductances
As mutant R-LMC-R circuits rebalance synaptic loads homeostatically, R1-R6s become more depolarized, with dSK- and dSK-;;dSlo- responding faster and dSlo- slower, whilst LMC outputs oscillate, with dSK- responding faster and dSK-;;dSlo- and dSlo- slower than wild-type
Homeostatic compensation in the mutant circuits impedes adaptation, increases the energy cost of visual information and distorts optomotor behaviour
Hence, Ca2+-activated K+ channels improve adaptability and energetics for transmitting and perceiving sensory information
