Effect and functional role of voltage-gated channels on dendrites
As on axons, one immediate effect of voltage-gated channels on dendrites is the generation of spikes (called dendritic spikes as opposed to action potentials). These typically have higher local voltage thresholds than on axons. They seem to play a major role in long-term potentation. But it's not obvious for me how, and which other "implications in neuronal communication, memory, and learning" they might have.
