Kv4 (A‐type) potassium currents in the mouse medial nucleus of the trapezoid body
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Principal neurones of the mouse medial nucleus of the trapezoid body (MNTB) possess multiple voltage-gated potassium currents, including a transient outward current (or A-current), which is characterized here. The A-current exhibited rapid voltage-dependent inactivation and was half inactivated at resting membrane potentials. Following a hyperpolarizing pre-pulse to remove inactivation, the peak transient current was 1.07 nA at -17 mV. The pharmacological characteristics of this A-current were consistent with Kv4 subunits in expression studies; the A-current was resistant to block by tetraethylammonium and dendrotoxin-I but sensitive to millimolar concentrations of 4-aminopyridine and 5 microM hanatoxin. Immunohistochemistry confirmed that Kv4.3 sub-units are present in the MNTB. In a single-compartment model of an MNTB neurone, the A-current served to accelerate the decay of the initial action potentials in a stimulus train and suggested that removal of A-current steady-state inactivation could raise firing threshold for non-calyceal synaptic inputs. This A-type current was not observed in the rat.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
