Hippocampus CA1 pyramidal GLU cellProximal apical dendriteI Potassium.A D-type potassium current is involved in dendritic calcium spikes initiation and repolarization (Golding NL et al, 19991 ). CA1 neurons and subiculum neurons in hippoampus differ in firing pattern (the former being regular and the later being either regular, weakly bursting or strongly bursting) and resting membrane properties (such as input restistance and membran time constant); however, low concentration of 4-AP (50 µM) can convert neurons in both regions into firing bursting action potentials (Staff NP et al, 20002 ).
