History-dependent excitability as a single-cell substrate of transient memory for information discrimination.

Neurons react differently to incoming stimuli depending upon their previous history of stimulation. This property can be considered as a single-cell substrate for transient memory, or context-dependent information processing: depending upon the current context that the neuron "sees" throug...
