Most mammalian central neurons receive synaptic input over complicated dendritic arbors. Therefore, timing of synaptic information should vary with synapse location. However, I report that temporal summation at CA1 pyramidal somata does not depend on the location of synaptic input. This spatial normalization of temporal integration requires a dendritic hyperpolarization-activated current (lh). Shaping of synaptic activity by deactivating a nonuniform lh could counterbalance filtering by dendrites and effectively remove location-dependent variability in temporal integration, thus enhancing synchronization of neuronal populations and functional capabilities of the hippocampal CA1 region.
大多数哺乳动物的中枢神经元通过复杂的树突分支接收突触输入。因此,突触信息的时间应该随突触位置而变化。然而,我报告称,CA1锥体神经元胞体处的时间总和并不取决于突触输入的位置。这种时间整合的空间归一化需要一种树突超极化激活电流(lh)。通过使不均匀的lh失活来塑造突触活动,可以抵消树突的滤波作用,并有效消除时间整合中位置依赖性的变异性,从而增强神经元群体的同步性和海马CA1区的功能能力。
