The correct term to fill in the blank would be voltage dependent channels. Channels in the membrane of the neuron allow ions to flow between the inside and outside of the cell. of these, voltage dependent channels open only when certain electrical conditions are met. These channels are transmembrane proteins that are activated by the changes in the electrical potential near it. The electric potential would alter the conformation of the proteins which in turn would regulate the closing and opening of the channels. The change in the electric potential is called the depolarization. Most of these channels are ion-specific like for the ions, calcium, sodium, chloride and potassium.

Electrolyte imbalance can affect the normal function of the brain. Sodium is an important electrolyte maintains homeostasis in the body. Its primary function is to regulate water retention. Low sodium usually decreases serum osmolality. This combination of deficiencies is called Hypotonic hyponatremia.

A sudden drop in sodium and plasma osmolality can cause seizures. Brain function is affected because the water in the body, because start to flow from the extracellular spaces into the intercellular spaces. This causes the brain cells to swell and thus affecting its normal function. 

Therapy for this type is IV therapy, particularly hypertonic saline to replace the sodium in the body and normalize plasma osmolality and diuretics are given to aid in water excretion. Therapy should be done slowly and should be closely monitored. More swelling can developed when it is done too quickly.
