"In cerebellar Purkinje neuron (PN) dendrites, the transient
depolarisation associated with a climbing fibre (CF) EPSP
activates voltage-gated Ca2+ channels (VGCCs), voltage-gated K+
channels (VGKCs) and Ca2+ activated SK and BK K+ channels. The
resulting membrane potential (Vm) and Ca2+ transients play a
fundamental role in dendritic integration and synaptic plasticity
of parallel fibre inputs. Here we report a detailed investigation
of the kinetics of dendritic Ca2+ and K+ channels activated by
CF-EPSPs, based on optical measurements of Vm and Ca2+ transients
and on a single-compartment NEURON model reproducing experimental
data.
