Dendritic calcium spikes are clearly detectable at the cortical surface

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Mototaka Suzuki from the Humboldt University have published the article: Dendritic calcium spikes are clearly detectable at the cortical surface, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS
• what: The study demonstrates that dendritic Ca2+ spikes in L5 pyramidal neurons can also evoke surface positive potentials that are as large as those evoked by EPSPs (Fig 8, right).
• how: Light pulses delivered to L2/3 caused a sink in these layers however the authors chose not to use this approach because it was difficult to separate the effect of the ChR2 current from . . .
