(aLeft, morphology of the conductance-based multi-compartmental model. Right, NaV channel density in the AIS was estimated by optimizing to Δ[Na+]i, Vm (top) and phase-plane plot (bottom) in simulation (black) to the experimental data (gray). Scale bars, 200 µm, 20 mV and 0.5 ms. (b) Example trace of calibrated ratiometric imaging of bis-Fura2 to measure absolute changes in Δ[Ca2+]i in response to a single AP (bottom), the experiment was performed in the presence of T- and L-type CaV blockers, so Δ[Ca2+]i is mediated by Nav channels (red) and amplified by internal store release (35%, green), scale bars indicate 10 nM, 100 mV and 10 ms. (c) Dependence of NaV-mediated peak AP Δ[Ca2+]i on conductance ratio (gCa/gNa) for varying endogenous buffer capacities (κs = 1–100).

ICa compared to ICa(Na) in a single compartment model.

(aFrom top to bottom, schematic of a NaV channel mediating Na+ and Ca2+ current (INa and ICa(Na)) and a CaV channel mediating ICaT and ICaH, peak normalized simulated currents (INa, ICa(Na), ICaH and ICaT) in a single compartment activated by an AIS AP waveform. Currents are normalized to peak amplitude. Note that ICa(Na) is ~10 fold more rapid compared to ICaH and ICaT. The difference in shape of ICa(Na) and INa reflects the different driving forces. Since the equilibrium potential for Ca2+ (+140 mV) is higher than for Na+ (+55 mV), the driving force for ICa(Na) is less affected during the voltage trajectory of the AP. (b) Absolute current amplitudes comparing ICa(Na) to ICaH and ICaT as well as the total ICa for typical channel densities (as noted above) and 0.5% conductivity ratio. INa is clipped to visually compare the Ca2+ currents. Note that ICa(Na) dominates the Ca2+ charge for rapid action potentials. Scale bars, 50 mV and 0.5 ms.

  1. Overview of mean and s.e.m. of AP properties compared between control and toxin experiments recorded at the soma. RMP, resting membrane potential, AHP, fast afterhyperpolarization, ADP, afterdepolarization. The APs were elicited by large and brief current injections (~6 nA for 0.5 ms) to obtain temporally aligned APs between trials and image OGB-1 fluorescence (Figure 3). AP amplitude, AHP and ADP were measured relative to the AP threshold. If the AHP or ADP was not detectable as a local peak, the membrane potential at the time point as in control was used (see EGTA example Figure 9d). P values are results of two-tailed paired t-tests before and after toxin application. Data available in Table 1—source data 1.
