NeuronCompartmentPropertyConnectivityNotes
Spinal cord lumbar motor neuron alpha ACh cellSomaI Na,t.Original intracellular recordings in vivo Variable densities of active channels support variable extents of backpropagating impulse in the dendrites (Larkum ME et al, 1996 [rat]1 ). SOBiv p96).
Spinal cord lumbar motor neuron alpha ACh cellDistal equivalent dendriteI Na,t.Patch recordings of back propagating impulses in dendrites. Variable densities of active channels support variable extents of backpropagating impulse in the dendrites (Larkum ME et al, 1996 [rat]1 ). SOBiv p96).
Spinal cord lumbar motor neuron alpha ACh cellMiddle equivalent dendriteI Na,t.Patch recordings of back propagating impulses in dendrites. Variable densities of active channels support variable extents of backpropagating impulse in the dendrites (Larkum ME et al, 1996 [rat]1 ). SOBiv p96).
Spinal cord lumbar motor neuron alpha ACh cellProximal equivalent dendriteI Na,t.Patch recordings of back propagating impulses in dendrites. Variable densities of active channels support variable extents of backpropagating impulse in the dendrites (Larkum ME et al, 1996 [rat]1 ). SOBiv p96).
Spinal cord lumbar motor neuron alpha ACh cellAxon hillockI Na,t.This channel is present in high density in all species. Original intracellular recordings suggesting site of impulse initiation is the axon hillock with backspread into the soma dendrites (FUORTES MG et al, 19572 ). see also (Eccles JC, 19573 ). reviewed in Shepherd 1998). Variable densities of active channels support variable extents of backpropagating impulse in the dendrites (Larkum ME et al, 1996 [rat]1 ). SOBiv p96).
