Legend

Simultaneous patch-clamp recording from a cortical pyramidal neuron. A blue dye diffused into the cell from the somatic recording electrode and a yellow dye from the dendritic recording electrode. Electrical recordings from the two electrodes were used to investigate the excitable properties of pyramidal neuron dendrites.
