Biphasic synaptic Ca influx arising from compartmentalized electrical signals in dendritic spines.
Excitatory synapses on mammalian principal neurons are typically formed onto dendritic spines, which consist of a bulbous head separated from the parent dendrite by a thin neck. Although activation of voltage-gated channels in the spine and stimulus-evoked constriction of the spine neck can influenc...
