I have many books and have visited so many web resources, but have never been able to find any comprehensive description of what is known about PSPs. I only find extremely broad overviews or extremely spotty details--and even those aren't plentiful.
Can someone point me to a good reference? Or, give me a good description of how the reception of a neurotransmitter leads to specific contributions of electrical voltage to the suma (w/ references)? Or at least, how does Neuron calculate this and why?
