A Theoretical Analysis of the Electrical Properties of a X-Cell in the Cat's LGN

Electron microscope studies of relay cells in the lateral geniculate nucleus of the CAT have shown that the retinal input of X-cells is associated with a special synaptic circuitry, termed the spine-triad complex. The retinal afferents make an asymmetrical synapse with both a dendritic appenda...
