Dendritic Na+ spikes enable cortical input to drive action potential output from hippocampal CA2 pyramidal neurons
Synaptic inputs from different brain areas are often targeted to distinct regions of neuronal dendritic arbors. Inputs to proximal dendrites usually produce large somatic EPSPs that efficiently trigger action potential (AP) output, whereas inputs to distal dendrites are greatly attenuated and may la...
