Short Stimulus, Long Response: Sodium and Calcium Dynamics Explain Persistent Neuronal Firing

A new study shows that the prolonged firing of some neurons in response to a transient signal can be caused by a high intracellular level of sodium ions, which slows the decay of the calcium spike. Read the Research Article.
