    ..2 and/or Kv1.6 (also DTX-sensitive). DTX increased excitability further in the already hyperexcitable -/- MNTB neurons, suggesting that -/- IKL limited excitability despite its reduced amplitude in the absence of Kv1.1 subunits...

    ..If channel voltage dependence is determined by how many Kv1.2 subunits each contains, neurons might be able to fine-tune their excitability by adjusting the Kv1.1:Kv1.2 balance rather than altering Kv1 channel density...
