“…This means that the constant 10 b also dictates the spiking properties of not only Large and Small neurons, but also those of Top and Bottom neurons (Figures 6C, 7E). Some of the properties that can contribute to the b and m parameters of each neuron include that neuron's action potential threshold (rheobase - Figure 3G), I Na properties, including inactivation (Figures 4E,G), Na v density (Zengel et al, 1985;Sengupta et al, 2013) and distribution throughout the neuron (Trimmer and Rhodes, 2004;Kress and Mennerick, 2009), K + current properties, including the fast-activating and inactivating A-type current (Iseppe et al, 2016) and the non-inactivating M-current (Nai et al, 2011;Li et al, 2015), the I H (Figure 5; Pignatelli et al, 2013), and further biophysical properties. Some of the differences between Top and Bottom neurons may also come from morphological properties, including possessing an axon/AIS (Chand et al, 2015;Galliano et al, 2018) and the growing classification of DA neurons in the OB (Kosaka et al, 2019), among other factors.…”
