What ion/s is/are most likely to have a high conductance through the Jerrionin channel?

You identify a new neurotransmitter and call it Jerrionin. In order to characterize the
actions of this neurotransmitter, you conduct an experiment in which you stimulate the
Jerrionin-containing neuron while recording the postsynaptic current using voltage
clamp. You get the following results:
C.
EPSC (NA)
