Effects of calcium spikes in the layer 5 pyramidal neuron on coincidence detection and activity propagation

The role of dendritic spiking mechanisms in neural processing is so far poorly understood. To investigate the role of calcium spikes in the functional properties of the single neuron and recurrent networks, we investigated a three compartment neuron model of the layer 5 pyramidal neuron with calcium...
