Calcium window currents, periodic forcing and chaos: understanding single neuron response with a discontinuous one-dimensional map (2010)
Journal Article
Laudanski, J., Sumner, C., & Coombes, S. (2010). Calcium window currents, periodic forcing and chaos: understanding single neuron response with a discontinuous one-dimensional map. Physical Review E, 82(1), Article e011924. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.82.011924

Thalamocortical (TC) neurones are known to express the low-voltage activated, inactivating Ca2+ current IT. The triggering of this current underlies the generation of low threshold Ca2+ potentials that may evoke single or bursts of action potentials....
