Abstract

Inactivation of N-type calcium current has been reported to be both voltage dependent and Ca$\^$2+/ dependent. We have investigated the effects of Ba$\^$2+/ and Ca$\^$2+/ on N-channel inactivation in rat superior cervical ganglion neurons using the whole cell configuration of patch clamp technique. Inactivation was larger in Ca$\^$2+/ than in Ba$\^$2+/ even with 20 mM BAPTA.(omitted)
