Spike triggered hormone secretion in vasopressin cells; a model investigation of mechanism and heterogeneous population function.
Vasopressin neurons generate distinctive phasic patterned spike activity in response to elevated extracellular osmotic pressure. These spikes are generated in the cell body and are conducted down the axon to the axonal terminals where they trigger Ca²⁺ entry and subsequent exocytosis of hormone-cont...
