Unitary currents through single ion channels in the glial cells, which ensheath the abdominal stretch receptor neurons of the crayfish, were characterized with respect to their basic kinetic properties. In cell-attached and excised patches two types of Ca+ +-independent K+ channels were observed wit

## Abstract A major role for Müller cells in the retina is to buffer changes in the extracellular K^+^ concentration ([K^+^]~o~) resulting from light‐evoked neuronal activity. The primary K^+^ conductance in Müller cells is the inwardly rectifying K^+^ channel Kir4.1. Since this channel is constitu
## Abstract Tandem‐pore domain (2P‐domain) K^+^‐channels regulate neuronal excitability, but their function in glia, particularly, in retinal glial cells, is unclear. We have previously demonstrated the immunocytochemical localization of the 2P‐domain K^+^ channels TASK‐1 and TASK‐2 in retinal Müll
