A paradoxical isopotentiality: a spatially uniform noise spectrum in neocortical pyramidal cells
Membrane ion channels and synapses are among the most important computational elements of nerve cells. Both have stochastic components that are reflected in random fluctuations of the membrane potential. We measured the spectral characteristics of membrane voltage noise in vitro at the soma and the...
