Abstract
Some TTX-sensitive sodium channels open transiently during recovery from inactivation, generating a "resurgent" sodium current that flows immediately following action potentials. In this issue of Neuron, Grieco and colleagues present evidence that resurgent sodium current results from a novel form of inactivation in which the cytoplasmic tail of the beta4 subunit acts as a classic open-channel blocker.Entities:
