We have generated an ATP1A3 mutant mouse that displays motor impairments and a hyperexcitable motor phenotype compatible with dystonia. We show that neurons harbouring this mutation are compromised in their ability to extrude raised levels of intracellular sodium, highlighting a profound deficit in neuronal sodium homeostasis. We show that the spinal motor network in ATP1A3 mutant mice has a reduced responsiveness to activity-dependent rises in intracellular sodium and that this is accompanied by loss of the Na+/K+-ATPase-mediated afterhyperpolarization in motor neurons. Taken together, our data support that the alpha3 Na+/K+-ATPase is important for cellular and spinal motor network homeostasis. These insights suggest that it may be useful to consider ways to compensate for this loss of a critical afterhyperpolarization-dependent control of neuronal excitability when developing future therapies for dystonia.", "doi": "10.1093/brain/awae373", "pmid": "39533828", "labels": [], "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC11967811"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "7896743"}], "notes": [], "created": "2026-09-23T12:29:54.670Z", "modified": "2026-09-23T14:47:46.364Z"}
