Ionic mechanisms of endogenous bursting in CA3 hippocampal pyramidal neurons: a model study.

A critical property of some neurons is burst firing, which in the hippocampus plays a primary role in reliable transmission of electrical signals. However, bursting may also contribute to synchronization of electrical activity in networks of neurons, a hallmark of epilepsy. Understanding the ionic m...
