Higher synaptic threshold for NMDA spike generation in human neurons

2021-10-23

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Neurons receive synaptic input primarily onto their dendrites. While we know much about the electrical properties of dendrites in rodents, we have only just started to describe their properties in the human brain. Here we investigate the capacity of human neurons to generate NMDA spikes. We find that dendritic iontophoresis of glutamate, as well as local dendritic synaptic stimulation, can evoke...
