Temperature and pH-dependent Potassium Currents of Muscles of the Stomatogastric Nervous System of the Crab, Cancer borealis
Kathleen Jacquerie, Ani Poghosyan, David J. Schulz, Eve E. Marder
This paper shows that stomach muscles of Cancer borealis hyperpolarize with warming and operate optimally within a narrow pH window, mediated by K2P channels that reduce excitability and maintain neuromuscular function under environmental change.
