Abstract

Applying glutamate near basal dendrites of cortical pyramidal neurons has been shown experimentally to activate AMPA and NMDA receptors, which can result in dendritic plateau potentials: long-lasting depolarizations in the dendrites which spread into the soma, bringing the cell closer to the spiking threshold and reducing the membrane time constant. When in such a ``
