Dendritic Potential: Unlocking Your Brain’s Hidden Power

Introduction and Definition of Dendritic Potential The concept of the dendritic potential refers fundamentally to the stable, transmembrane voltage difference maintained across the plasma membrane of a neuron’s dendrite when the cell is in a quiescent or non-firing state. This potential, often measured relative to the extracellular fluid, is a crucial determinant of neuronal excitability […]
