NeuronCompartmentPropertyConnectivityNotes
Thalamus geniculate nucleus/lateral principal GLU cellProximal equivalent dendriteI L high threshold.This conductance triggers impulses in dendrites and soma, leading to Ca-dependant K conductances (Steriade M and Llinás RR, 1988 [mammal]1 ). Sherman and Koch, 1990).Using electrophysiological recordings and imaging, the density of these channels was found to rapidly decrease with distance from soma and clustered in high density around the base of dendrites (Budde T et al, 19982 ).
