"Climbing fibers (CFs) provide instructive signals driving cerebellar learning, but mechanisms causing the variable CF responses in Purkinje cells (PCs) are not fully understood. Using a new experimentally validated PC model, we unveil the ionic mechanisms underlying CF-evoked distinct spike waveforms on different parts of the PC. We demonstrate that voltage can gate both the amplitude and the spatial range of CF-evoked Ca2+ influx by the availability of K+ currents. ... The voltage- and branch-specific CF responses can increase dendritic computational capacity and enable PCs to actively integrate CF signals."

TITLE P-type calcium channel

COMMENT

According to Benton&Raman data
lower threshold but relatively large time constant compared with Sungho's model (According to Bruce Bean)
Also the ssa is steep. In this model, it is better not to shift the SSA to the left.
time speeded up by 2 times May 9 2016 (no longer)
