Differential roles of NaV1.2 and NaV1.6 in neocortical pyramidal cell excitability by Joshua D Garcia, Chenyu Wang, Ryan PD Alexander, Emmie Banks, Timothy Fenton, Jean-Marc DeKeyser, Tatiana V Abramova, Alfred L George Jr, Roy Ben-Shalom, David H Hackos, Kevin J Bender

“…Here, we leveraged aryl sulfonamide-based molecule (ASC) inhibitors of NaV channels that exhibit state-dependent block of both NaV1.2 and NaV1.6, along with knock-in mice with changes in NaV1.2 or NaV1.6 structure that prevents ASC binding. This allowed for acute, potent, and reversible block of individual isoforms that permitted dissection of the unique contributions of NaV1.2 and NaV1.6 in pyramidal cell excitability. …”
