Modes of Initiation and Propagation of Spikes in the Branching Axons of Molluscan Central Neurons
L. Tauc,G. M. Hughes +1 more
TL;DR: Observations of the presence of different sizes of A spikes produced by orthodromic stimulation provide evidence that spikes initiated at separate axonal "trigger zones" of Aplysia neurons may be conducted selectively to the effectors or other neurons innervated by the particular branch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms by which cell geometry controls repetitive impulse firing in retinal ganglion cells.
TL;DR: It is concluded that cell morphology is the primary factor in determining firing patterns and the impulse frequency response of a given cell and that differences in channel density distribution across a population of cells plays, at most, a secondary role in this function.

Cellular correlate of assembly formation in oscillating hippocampal networks in vitro
Florian Bähner,Elisa K. Weiss,Gunnar Birke,Nikolaus Maier,Dietmar Schmitz,Uwe Rudolph,Michael Frotscher,Michael Frotscher,Roger D. Traub,Martin Both,Andreas Draguhn +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used physiological and modeling techniques to analyze neuronal activity in mouse hippocampal slices during spontaneously occurring high-frequency network oscillations, yielding a strict distinction between participating and non-participating neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrogenic Tuning of the Axon Initial Segment
TL;DR: In addition to its main role in AP initiation, the new findings suggest that the AIS is also a site of complex AP modulation by specific types of ion channels localized to this axonal domain.

Glucocorticoid effects on central nervous excitability and synaptic transmission.
TL;DR: This chapter describes glucocorticoid effects on whole-brain excitability, multiple unit evoked responses, single-unit responses, specific neurotransmitters, and mechanism of action in central nervous system injury.

TL;DR: This article concludes a series of papers concerned with the flow of electric current through the surface membrane of a giant nerve fibre by putting them into mathematical form and showing that they will account for conduction and excitation in quantitative terms.

Influence of discharge of motoneurons upon excitation of neighboring motoneurons
TL;DR: The present experiments show that the antidromic activation of certain groups of motoneurons does condition the reflex discharges of other moto-neurons, and it is not necessary to infer from the early onset of inhibition that a specific inhibitory action is produced by the arrival of impulses at the synapses made by the recurrent collaterals with other neurons.
