Dendritic properties of turtle pyramidal neurons

TL;DR: It is concluded that spike backpropagation, dendritic Ca2+ channels, and synaptically activated Ca 2+ release are primitive and conserved features of cortical pyramidal cells, and therefore likely fundamental to cortical function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of trans-membrane polarization and TEA injection on monosynaptic actions from motor cortex, red nucleus and group Ia afferents on lumbar motoneurons in the monkey.

TL;DR: There was a statistically significant difference in the time course of cortico-motoneuronal, rubro-mot oneuronal and group Ia monosynaptic EPSPs but a relatively small difference between these inputs in the sensitivity to the artificial polarization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impulse origin and propagation in a bipolar sensory neuron.

TL;DR: Intracellular recording techniques were used to study electrical activity in bipolar sensory cells associated with crayfish tactile receptors, and several lines of evidence indicate that spikes evoked by natural stimulation of the receptor originate at a dendritic locus.

A quantitative description of membrane current and its application to conduction and excitation in nerve

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.
