In 1955, J.C. Eccles and colleagues made which fundamental experimental observation regarding cell excitability and action potential generation?

A) Dendritic depolarization initiates action potentials near the soma, not in the dendrites.
B) Dendrites are generally unexcitable and only transmit signals passively towards the soma.
C) Action potentials travel along dendrites with a conduction velocity of 3 m/s.
D) Cerebellar Purkinje neurons produce dendritic action potentials.
E) Action potentials are initiated in the axon initial segment, and then propagate along the axon and back into the soma and dendrites.
