“…Ion-channel degeneracy in the hippocampal formation is ubiquitous, and expresses across different scales of analyses (Mishra & Narayanan, 2019;Mittal & Narayanan, 2018;Rathour & Narayanan, 2019). In hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons, the expression of degeneracy has been demonstrated with reference to the concomitant emergence of several somato-dendritic intrinsic properties (R. Migliore, et al, 2018;Rathour, Malik, & Narayanan, 2016;Rathour & Narayanan, 2012Srikanth & Narayanan, 2015), spike-triggered average (Das & Narayanan, 2014Das, Rathour, & Narayanan, 2017;Jain & Narayanan, 2020), short- (Mukunda & Narayanan, 2017) as well as long-term (Anirudhan & Narayanan, 2015) plasticity profiles. More specifically, with reference to the firing properties of CA1 pyramidal neurons as place cells, degeneracy has been shown to express in the sharpness of place-field firing properties with reference to biophysical as well as morphological parameters (Basak & Narayanan, 2018, which has been confirmed in this study with a larger set of ion channels incorporated into the model.…”
