Abstract

Different types of voltage-gated ion currents were recorded in isolated neurons of snail Helix pomatia using the two-microelectrode voltage-clamp technique. Application of Amyloid-β peptide (1-42, 1-10 μM) in the bathing solution did not change delayed rectifier K(+)-current and leakage current, but enhanced inactivation of Ca(2+)-current and blocked Ca(2+)-dependent K(+)-current.
