ModelDB: Voltage attenuation in CA1 pyramidal neuron dendrites (Golding et al 2005)

Voltage attenuation in CA1 pyramidal neuron dendrites (Golding et al 2005)

Accession: 64170

Voltage attenuation in the apical dendritic field of CA1 pyramidal neurons is particularly strong for epsps spreading toward the soma. High cytoplasmic resistivity and high membrane (leak) conductance appear to be the major determinants of voltage attenuation over most of the apical field, but H current may be responsible for as much as half of the attenuation of distal apical epsps.
