Research Article: Inhibition of SK Channels in VTA Affects Dopaminergic Neurons to Improve the Depression-Like Behaviors of Post-Stroke Depression Rats
Introduction:
As many as one-third of stroke patients experience post-stroke depression (PSD), significantly impacting their rehabilitation and daily life. The pathogenesis of PSD is multifaceted and not fully understood. , However, recent studies have found that the dysregulation of potassium channels in central neurons may play a significant role in the development of depression. – Calcium-activated potassium (KCa) channels, which are a crucial subset of the potassium channel superfamily, are present in multiple regions of…
