Purkinje cells (PCs) are the final common collector of the whole neuronal activity generated in the granular and molecular layer of the cerebellar cortex (Eccles et al., 1967; Ramón y Cajal, 1995). A complex structural and functional organization allows PCs to elaborate the largest synaptic input of the brain, amounting to over 200,000 synapses in rodents (Korbo et al., 1993). PCs are characterized by active dendrites (Llinás and Sugimori, 1980a,b) endowed with different types of voltage-dependent channels. Several experiments and models have been developed with the aim to explain how PCs integrate synaptic inputs (De Schutter and Bower, 1994a,b; Rapp et al., 1994; Roth and Häusser, 2001; Brunel et al., 2004; Santamaria and Bower, 2005; Steuber et al., 2007; Masoli et al., 2015), but the role of voltage-dependent currents in local computation has not been fully clarified. PCs have recently been proposed to react to input bursts by generating a burst-pause response (BPR), which has been correlated with animal behavior (Cao et al., 2012; Herzfeld et al., 2015). While the intervention of inhibitory molecular layer interneurons (molecular layer interneurons; Barmack and Yakhnitsa, 2008; Bower, 2010; Grasselli et al., 2016) has been proposed to regulate the pause, the role played by dendritic properties in BPR generation remained unclear.
