Dendritic spike saturation of endogenous calcium buffer and induction of postsynaptic cerebellar LTP.

The architecture of parallel fiber axons contacting cerebellar Purkinje neurons retains spatial information over long distances. Parallel fiber synapses can trigger local dendritic calcium spikes, but whether and how this calcium signal leads to plastic changes that decode the parallel fiber input o...
