- regulation of presynaptic membrane potiential

literal: "The significant findings of this study are that functional HCN1 channels are present on glutamatergic synaptic terminals synapsing onto EC layer III neurons where they reduce spontaneous and evoked neurotransmitter release. These effects are at least partly due to altered availability of low-threshold, voltage-gated T-type Ca2+ channel. In support, electron microscopy showed that HCN1 and CaV3.2 subunits co-exist on EC pre-synaptic terminals...Remarkably, our results suggest that the presence of pre-synaptic HCN channels depolarizes the RMP, thereby restricting Ca2+ entry via pre-synaptic T-type Ca2+ channel activity and preventing glutamate release (Figs 44 -7). This suggests that pre-synaptic HCN channels may provide an additional regulatory mechanism for controlling synaptic release at these synapses."
