NMDA spikes in basal dendrites of L5 pyramidal neurons (Polsky et al. 2009)
|

"...
In apical
dendrites of neocortical pyramidal neurons, calcium spikes are known
to contribute to burst generation, but a comparable understanding of
basal dendritic mechanisms is lacking. Here we show that NMDA spikes
in basal dendrites mediate both detection and generation of bursts
through a postsynaptic mechanism.
High-frequency inputs to basal
dendrites markedly facilitated NMDA spike initiation compared with
low-frequency activation or single inputs.
