Molecular Identity of Dendritic Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels

Andrea Lorincz and Zoltan Nusser

Active invasion of the dendritic tree by action potentials (APs) generated in the axon is essential for associative synaptic plasticity and neuronal ensemble formation. In cortical pyramidal cells (PCs), this AP back-propagation is supported by dendritic voltage-gated Na+ (Nav) channels, whose molecular identity is unknown. Using a . . . → Read More: Molecular Identity of Dendritic Voltage-Gated Sodium Channels
