Na impulses may underly "fast prepotentials" that boost distal EPSPs                                         Show

Na action potentials support backpropagating impulses                                         Show

Patch recordings yield an approximate channel density of 28 pS/micron^2 in juvenile rats < 4 wks of age, rising to 61 pS/micron^2 in older rats.  Channel density was similar in other dendritic compartments                                         Show

However, channel density varied widely in the proximal compartment, possibly indicating the presence of hot spots.                                         Show

Inactivation of dendritic Na channel contributes to the attenuation of activity-dependent backpropagation of APs                                         Show

Slow inactivation of sodium channels in dendrites and soma will modulate neuronal excitability in a way that depends in a complicated manner on the resting potential and previous history of action potential firing                                          Show

Single action potential backpropagations show dichotomy of either strong attenuation (26-42%) or weak attenuation (71-87%).  The dichotomy seems to be conferred primarily by differences in distribution, density, etc. of voltage dependent sodium and potassium channel (A-type, especially ) along the somatodendritic axis                                         Show
