Abstract
Mechanisms of action potential (AP) generation in neocortical pyramidal cells have been the focus of intense experimental and theoretical research over the last several decades. It has proven very difficult, however, to arrive at a consensus model which can satisfactorily account for all of its features. One of the still unresolved issues is lack of accurate description of Na+ channel kinetics in different neuronal compartments. Here, we measured kinetics of somatic Na+ channels using high temporal resolution (5-10 kHz, −3dB, low pass four-pole Bessel filter) cell-attached recordings from layer 5 pyramidal neurons in neocortical slices.
