Figure 1: Dynamics of action potential initiation in neocortical neurons and in a Hodgkin–Huxley-type model of a neocortical neuron. Figure 2: Different action potential initiation in visual cortex ...

We report that back-propagating action potentials (bAPs) are not simply digital feedback signals in dendrites but also carry analogue information about the overall state of neurons. Analogue ...

To make information transmission to the brain reliable, the retina first has to “digitize” the image. Until now, it was widely believed that this step takes place in the retinal ganglion cells, the ...

Collision Block of Action Potentials. An electrically initiated action potential (AP) can be sent towards an oncoming naturally generated AP to neutralize it and stop propagation, collision block. To ...
