• Active properties of neocortical pyramidal neuron dendrites. (2013, background): “…supralinear regime, which in principle can lead to so-called dendritic spikes (Ariav et al. 2003, Häusser et al. 2000, Judkewitz et al. 2006, Larkum & Nevian 2008, Losonczy & Magee 2006, Mel 1993, Polsky et al. 2004, Rhodes 2006, Schiller et al. 1997, Schiller & Schiller 2001, Spruston 2008).”
• COORDINATION OF SIZE AND NUMBER OF EXCITATORY AND INHIBITORY SYNAPSES RESULTS IN A BALANCED STRUCTURAL PLASTICITY ALONG MATURE HIPPOCAMPAL CA1 DENDRITES DURING LTP (2011, background): “However, recent neural models predict that a nonlinear summation of synapses along a dendritic branch would markedly increase storage capacity (Poirazi and Mel, 2001; Polsky et al., 2004; Magee and Johnston, 2005).”
• Dynamic Development of Action and Thought (2007, background): “Similarly, biologists model the structures of evolution of living organisms (Kauffman, 1993) and the dynamics of brain functioning and development (e.g., Marcus, 2004; Polsky, Mel, & Schiller, 2004; Spruston & Kath, 2004).”
• Pyramidal neurons: dendritic structure and synaptic integration (2008, background): “Synaptic stimulation of basal dendrites triggers nonlinear responses that are probably dendritic NMDA or Na + spike”
• Spike timing-dependent plasticity: from synapse to perception. (2006, background): “Furthermore, while studied much less extensively than the main trunk of the apical dendrite due to technical difficulties, the basal and oblique dendrites of pyramidal neurons in fact receive most of the synaptic inputs (85).”
• Integrative properties of radial oblique dendrites in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons. (2006, background): “These receptors have been shown to be important in producing large, slow dendritic spikes (Polsky et al., 2004; Schiller et al., 2000), as well as in countering the loss of driving force experienced by closely spaced AMPA-mediated synaptic input (Cook and Johnston, 1999; Gasparini et al., 2004).”
