Axons amplify somatic incomplete spikes into uniform amplitudes in mouse cortical pyramidal neurons.

<h4>Background</h4>Action potentials are the essential unit of neuronal encoding. Somatic sequential spikes in the central nervous system appear various in amplitudes. To be effective neuronal codes, these spikes should be propagated to axonal terminals where they activate the synapses a...
