Calcium currents of olfactory bulb juxtaglomerular cells: profile and multiple conductance plateau potential simulation

▶Olfactory juxtaglomerular cells fire plateau potentials of unclear mechanism. ▶We recorded their calcium current, showing a transient and sustained component. ▶We created a model of plateau potential firing based on these recordings. ▶The model showed that transient calcium current generates the plateau potential. ▶The model also showed that transient potassium current is also critical.
