Modeling thalamocortical cell: impact of Ca2+ channel distribution and cell geometry on firing pattern

The influence of calcium channel distribution and geometry of the thalamocortical cell upon its tonic firing and the low threshold spike (LTS) generation was studied in a 3-compartment model, which represents soma, proximal and distal dendrites as well as in multi-compartment model using the morphol...
