Action potentials and chemosensitive conductances in the dendrites of olfactory neurons suggest new features for odor transduction

Odors affect the excitability of an olfactory neuron by altering membrane conductances at the ciliated end of a single, long dendrite. One mechanism to increase the sensitivity of olfactory neurons to odorants would be for their dendrites to support action potentials. We show for the first time that...
