title: Dendritic Inhibitory Synapses Punch above Their Weight.
abstract: Müllner et al. (2015) show that single inhibitory synapses placed in the right location on the dendritic tree can exert a powerful impact on backpropagating action potentials in hippocampal pyramidal neurons by controlling local Ca(2+) influx with μm and ms precision.
