Action potential amplification by EPSPs was even ... provides a sensitive mechanism linking the global activity of the neuron to activity of specific sets of synaptic inputs, and so is ideally ...

Our knowledge of the structure of voltage-dependent K + (Kv) channels, which shape the neuronal action potential, has come largely from studies of prokaryotic channels, which can be expressed at ...

In order for a neuron to transmit its own signal, it must first be sufficiently activated by incoming signals from other neurons via its dendrites. Then, an action potential is generated in its ...
