Effects of Neural Morphology and Input Distribution on Synaptic Processing by Global and Focal NMDA-Spikes.

Cortical neurons can respond to glutamatergic stimulation with regenerative N-Methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA)-spikes. NMDA-spikes were initially thought to depend on clustered synaptic activation. Recent work had shown however a new variety of a global NMDA-spike, which can be generated by randomly di...
