Half a century since their discovery by Llinás and colleagues, dendritic spikes have been
observed in various neurons in different brain regions, from the neocortex and cerebellum to …

For the past seven decades, the Hodgkin–Huxley (HH) formalism has been an invaluable
tool in the arsenal of neuroscientists, allowing for robust and reproducible modelling of ionic …

Synaptic NMDA receptors can produce powerful dendritic supralinearities that expand the
computational repertoire of single neurons and their respective circuits. This form of …

Summary Layer 1 (L1) of the neocortex acts as a nexus for the collection and processing of
widespread information. By integrating ascending inputs with extensive top-down activity …

The piriform cortex (PCx) is essential for learning of odor information. The current view
postulates that odor learning in the PCx is mainly due to plasticity in intracortical (IC) …

Inhibitory microcircuits play an essential role in regulating cortical responses to sensory
stimuli. Interneurons that inhibit dendritic or somatic integration act as gatekeepers for neural …

Sensory perception depends on interactions between external inputs transduced by
peripheral sensory organs and internal network dynamics generated by central neuronal …

Cortical inhibitory interneurons form a broad spectrum of subtypes. This diversity suggests a
division of labor, in which each cell type supports a distinct function. In the present era of …

Odors activate distributed ensembles of neurons within the piriform cortex, forming cortical
representations of odor thought to be essential to olfactory learning and behaviors. This odor …

There has been increasing interest in the measurement and comparison of activity across
compartments of the pyramidal neuron. Dendritic activity can occur both locally, on a single …
