Action potentials and associated Ca2+ influx can be followed by slow after‐
hyperpolarizations (sAHPs) caused by a voltage‐insensitive, Ca2+‐dependent K+ current …

The temporal resolution of neuronal integration depends on the time window within which
excitatory inputs summate to reach the threshold for spike generation. Here, we show that in …

Small conductance calcium-activated potassium (SK) channels are found in many types of
neurons as well as in some other cell types. These channels are selective for K+ and open …

Transient changes in the activity of midbrain dopamine neurons encode an error signal that
contributes to associative learning. Although considerable attention has been devoted to the …

In hippocampal and other cortical neurons, action potentials are followed by
afterhyperpolarizations (AHPs) generated by the activation of small-conductance Ca2+ …

Neostriatal cholinergic interneurons fire irregularly but tonically in vivo. The summation of
relatively few depolarizing potentials and their temporal sequence are thought to underlie …

Current-clamp recordings were made from the deep cerebellar nuclei (DCN) of 12-to 15-day-
old rats to understand the factors that mediate intrinsic spontaneous firing patterns. All of the …

Distinct activity patterns in subthalamic nucleus (STN) neurons are observed during normal
voluntary movement and abnormal movement in Parkinson's disease (PD). To determine …

The neurons in the external segment of the pallidum (GPe) in awake animals maintain a
high level of firing activity. The level and pattern of the activity change with the development …

Major adaptations after chronic exposure to morphine include an up-regulation of the
adenosine 3′, 5′-monophosphate pathway. Acute opioids, via μ-opioid receptors …
