Abstract

âº Neurons of the LAT display clusters of post-synaptic potential (PSPs) in vivo. âº The amplitude and area of clusters depend on the membrane potential. âº The relationship to membrane potential is sublinear. âº The sublinear relationship is sensitive to TEA, but not cesium. âº Reversal of sublinearity leads to increased PSP integration and AP firing.
