Voltage response of the point dendrite with excitatory inputs.

<p>Example dendrite V<sub>m</sub> traces for a similarly tuned dendritic segment as a function of stimulus orientation relative to target orientation. Individual trials are in gray and average is in teal. The colored segments in the inset (right) show the impact of the <i>E</i><sub>K</sub><sup>+</sup> shift (comparison of the first and third responses). The first stimulation event induces a small <i>E</i><sub>K</sub><sup>+</sup> shift (10 mV) for the target orientation. For the rest of stimulus orientations, the shift in <i>E</i><sub>K</sub><sup>+</sup> is scaled according to <b><a href="http://www.plosbiology.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pbio.3002935#pbio.3002935.g001" target="_blank">Fig 1F</a></b>. <i>E</i><sub>K</sub><sup>+</sup> shifts increase dendritic spike occurrence and dendritic spike duration.</p> <p>(PDF)</p>
