Mechanisms of plasticity at the axon initial segment
The axon initial segment (AIS) is a highly specialised neuronal subcompartment located within the proximal axon that has a crucial role in the generation of action potentials. Recent research has shown that this structure is plastic and can undergo changes in its length or location over a period of...
