“…Considering earlier results that underline the importance of dendritic mechanisms in the case of GnRH neurons (Campbell et al, 2009;Roberts et al, 2006;Roberts, Hemond, & Suter, 2008) which may contribute to the description of AP generation (Roberts, Campbell, et al, 2008), bursting (Izhikevich, 2005) and DAPs (Roberts et al, 2009), we take into account an active dendritic compartment. Furthermore, because the majority of our measurement data originates from bipolar GnRH neurons, a second, passive dendritic compartment is also incorporated in the model.…”
