The dendrites of motoneurons are not, as once thought, passive conduits for synaptic inputs.
Instead they have voltage‐dependent channels that provide the capacity to generate a very …

The effects of serotonin (5-HT) on intrinsic properties of spinal motoneurons were
investigated with intracellular recordings in a slice preparation from adult turtles. In 55% of …

L‐type calcium channels mediate the persistent inward current underlying plateau potentials
