Impact on backpropagation of the spatial heterogeneity of sodium channel kinetics in the axon initial segment
2022-04-05
Abstract excerpt
In a variety of neurons, action potentials (APs) initiate at the proximal axon, within a region called the axon initial segment (AIS), which has a high density of voltage-gated sodium channels (Na V s) on its membrane. In pyramidal neurons, the proximal AIS has been reported to exhibit a higher proportion of Na V s with gating properties that are “ right-shift ed” to more depolarized voltages, compared to the d...
