Abstract

Objective & Background: Voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) and potassium channels are critical in the generation of action potentials in the nervous system. VGSCs and potassium channels play important roles in the five fundamental senses of vision, audition, olfaction, taste and touch. Dysfunctional VGSCs are associated with clinical sensory symptoms, such as hyperpselaphesia, parosphresia, and so on.

Conclusion: This short review highlights the recent advances in the study of VGSCs in sensory information processing and discusses the potential role of VGSCs to serve as pharmacological targets for the treatment of sensory system diseases.

Keywords: Voltage-gated sodium channel, action potential, information processing, membrane, protein complexes central nervous system, pharmacological.
