Structural and functional plasticity at the axon initial segment
The axon initial segment (AIS) is positioned between the axonal and somato-dendritic compartments and plays a pivotal role in triggering action potentials and determining neuronal output. It is now widely accepted that structural properties of the AIS, such as length and/or location relative to the...
