Dendritic Potential: Unlocking the Neural Blueprint

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 […]
