A Small Fraction of Strongly Cooperative Sodium Channels Boosts Neuronal Encoding of High Frequencies

Generation of action potentials (APs) is a crucial step in neuronal information processing. Existing biophysical models for AP generation almost universally assume that individual voltage-gated sodium channels operate statistically independently, and their avalanche-like opening that underlies AP ge...
