The paper identifies a conserved voltage-dependent pacemaker current essential for slow firing in neurons and cardiac cells, confirmed by models and experiments.

The paper shows that extrasynaptic NMDARs, activated by glycine and glutamate spillover, drive bursting in nigral dopamine neurons, while synaptic NMDARs use D-serine.

This paper introduces a method to reuse patch-clamp pipettes by sonifying their tips in the bath solution, enabling at least 10 consecutive recordings without contaminating solutions or damaging brain slices.

The paper identifies an unconventional conductance essential for pacemaking in nigral dopamine neurons using pharmacological evidence and electrophysiological analysis.
