ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Loss of inhibitory output from Purkinje cells leads to hyperexcitability of the Deep Cerebellar Nuclei [DCN], which results in cerebellar ataxia. Also, inhibition of small-conductance calcium-activated potassium [SK] channel increases firing rate of DCN, which could cause cerebellar ataxia. Therefore, SK channel activators can be effective in reducing the symptoms of this disease, and used for the treatment of cerebellar ataxia. In this regard, we hypothesized that blockade of SK channels in different compartments of DCN would increase firing rate with different value. The location of these channels has different effects on increasing firing rate
