Dendritic distributions of Ih channels in experimentally-derived multi-compartment models of oriens-lacunosum/moleculare (O-LM) hippocampal interneurons

The O-LM cell type mediates feedback inhibition onto hippocampal pyramidal cells and gates information flow in the CA1.Its functions depend on the presence of voltage-gated channels (VGCs), which affect its integrative properties and response to synaptic input.Given the challenges associated with determining densities and distributions of VGCs on i
