The present invention pertains to a method for controlling a membrane potential-dependent ion channel (VGSC or the like) through a type I taste receptor present in a nerve cell or the like. In the present invention, it has been found that an Aβ peptide, or a sweet amino acid or an umami substance specifically binds to a type I taste receptor on the surface of a nerve cell to exert an agonist-like or antagonist-like action, thereby amplifying or suppressing a VGSC active current.Moreover, with the binding of an Aβ peptide or the like to a type I taste receptor, the amplification of a VGSC active current occurs, the overactivity of nerve cells causing epileptiform attack occurs, and a large number of substances, which can effectively suppress the amplification of the VGSC active current, among ligand substances that specifically bind to the type I taste receptor, can be found.The present invention provides: a type I taste receptor-specific ligand substance that can control the amplification or suppression of a VGSC active current; and a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating various neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), due to the amplification of a VGSC active current caused by the binding of an Aβ peptide or the like to a type I taste receptor.
