Distinct dendritic Ca2+ spike forms produce opposing input-output transformations in rat CA3 pyramidal cells

Proper integration of different inputs targeting the dendritic tree of CA3 pyramidal cells (CA3PCs) is critical for associative learning and recall. Dendritic Ca2+ spikes have been proposed to perform associative computations in other PC types by detecting conjunctive activation of different afferen...
