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 ...

To that end, voltage imaging has the potential to combine the advantages of both of these techniques. Neuronal voltage “spikes,” or action potentials, in a mouse brain can be as short as a few ...

Critical to the function of each pyramidal neuron is how it responds to its synaptic inputs to produce an action potential that excites its postsynaptic targets. Indeed, this process of synaptic ...

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 ...

Researchers at Princeton Neuroscience Institute recently carried out a study investigating the neural ... to action. Their ...
