Extracellular spikes were recorded simultaneously from dendrites and somata of Purkinje cells in thin cerebellar sections. Spontaneously occurring dendritic spikes were biphasic with the initial phase positive. Triphasic dendritic spikes with a large negative phase appeared during electrophoretic ap
Tetrodotoxin (TTX) is widely used to block the sodium dependent action potential in excitable cells to study their other ionic properties. TTX applied outside, selectively blocks voltage dependent sodium channels and is thought to have no other effects. We report here that TTX, applied to slices of
