Enhanced excitability of cortical neurons in low-divalent solutions is primarily mediated by altered voltage-dependence of voltage-gated sodium channels

Increasing extracellular [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]o) strongly decreases intrinsic excitability in neurons but the mechanism is unclear. By one hypothesis, [Ca2+]o screens surface charge, reducing voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) activation and by another [Ca2+]o activates Calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) clo...
