01
Overview
Ion channels are vital molecular components widely distributed throughout the central nervous system. They control rapid ionic movements across neuronal membranes necessary for all aspects of brain function—from basic excitability to complex behaviors—and represent crucial therapeutic targets for many neurological diseases due to their central role in neural signaling pathways.
