Subthreshold depolarization of soma passively propagates into the axons for a substantial distance and thereby caused enhancement of the transmitter release from the axon terminals of hippocampal mossy fibers. Here we developed the granule cell-mossy fiber model implemented with axonal sodium potassium and calcium channels and explored the mechanisms underlying analog modulation of the action potential-evoked transmitter release by subthreshold voltage signaling along the axons. Action potential-induced calcium entry to the terminals was reduced, while subthreshold depolarization itself caused small calcium entry.

In this paper, the models of the sodium, potassium, and calcium channels found in the hippocampal 
mossy fiber terminals were reconstructed according to the parameters described in the papers;

 hippocampal mossy fiber boutons. Neuron 45: 405-17. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.neuron.2004.12.048

To test for the subthreshold axonal voltage signaling on spike propagation and transmitter release,
these models of axonal sodium, potassium, and calcium channel were implemented with
the structure model of mossy fiber and granule cells as described in;
