## Abstract Prion diseases are neurodegenerative disorders that are characterized by the presence of the misfolded prion protein (PrP). Neurotoxicity in these diseases may result from prion‐induced modulation of ion channel function, changes in neuronal excitability, and consequent disruption of ce
