## Abstract The primary function of neurons is to integrate synaptic inputs and to transmit the results to other cells. It was shown previously that separate excitatory inputs to hippocampal pyramidal neurons are summated nonlinearly. In the hippocampus, responses of pyramidal neurons are influence

## Abstract The heterogeneous expression of voltageβgated channels in dendrites suggests that neurons perform local microdomain computations at different regions. It has been shown that Aβtype K^+^ channels have a nonuniform distribution along the primary apical dendrite in CA1 pyramidal neurons, i
Dendritic morphology and passive cable properties determine many aspects of synaptic integration in complex neurons, together with voltage-dependent membrane conductances. We investigated dendritic properties of CA1 pyramidal neurons intracellularly labeled during in vivo and in vitro physiologic re
## Abstract Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) of the hippocampus have been thought to contribute to cognitive enhancement by cigarette smoking. Although positive modulation on cognitive functions is linked to the smoked, lowβdose nicotine, the cellular correlate behind this modulation is u
