Abstract
This Perspective by Tasker is one of two discussing the regulation of ion channels by neurosteroids. Neurosteroids are steroids synthesized in the brain that act as allosteric modulators of ion-channel activity. The dual regulation of γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors and voltage-gated calcium channels by phosphorylation and neurosteroids is the focus of this Perspective.
