SOMATODENDRITIC VASOPRESSIN RELEASE COUPLES INTRINSIC EXCITABILITY TO POPULATION-LEVEL ACTIVITY

The transition from single-neuron excitability to organized population firing is a fundamental feature of neural circuits, yet the mechanisms that govern this transition remain poorly understood. Magnocellular vasopressin (VP) and oxytocin neurons are intermingled within the hypothalamus, yet display strikingly different population dynamics, with VP output sustained by a distributed, largely…
