DOI: 10.1002/cne.24334
Abstract: The neuronal population of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) has the ability to prolong incoming cortical excitation. This could result from intra‐STN feedback excitation. The combination of inducible genetic fate mapping techniques with in vitro targeted… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fncel.2017.00045
Abstract: In cortical pyramidal neurons the presynaptic terminals controlling transmitter release are located along unmyelinated axon collaterals, far from the original action potential (AP) initiation site, the axon initial segment (AIS). Once initiated, APs will need… read more here.

Projection Neuron Axon Collaterals in the Dorsal Horn: Placing a New Player in Spinal Cord Pain Processing

DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2020.560802
Abstract: The pain experience depends on the relay of nociceptive signals from the spinal cord dorsal horn to higher brain centers. This function is ultimately achieved by the output of a small population of highly specialized… read more here.
