Principles of dendritic integration
TL;DR: This chapter discusses where action potentials are generated in neurons, as well as the various factors affecting how dendrites integrate synaptic potentials, highlighting the key role of dendritic excitability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antidromic activation of the isthmo‐optic nucleus
TL;DR: Experiments carried out to record from output cells in the isthmo‐optic nucleus are described, finding no significant differences in the ability of these cells to record with respect to the number of cells or types of cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Topography of rubrospinal units in the cat.
TL;DR: Rubrospinal neurons sending efferents to cervico-thoracic segments of the spinal cord are located in the dorso-medial part of the nucleus, which agrees with the anatomical findings of Pompeiano and Brodal (1957).
Journal ArticleDOI
Spread of synaptic potentials through electrical synapses in Retzius neurones of the leech.
TL;DR: The results showed that EPSPs spread from one Retzius neurone to the other and support the idea that EPSP spread between electrically coupled neurones may contribute to the integration processes of neurones.

Axonal speeding: shaping synaptic potentials in small neurons by the axonal membrane compartment.

TL;DR: It is found that in interneurons of the cerebellar molecular layer, where dendrites are so short that the somatodendritic domain can be considered isopotential, the axonal membrane contributes a significant part of the cell input capacitance.

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.
