13-homogeneous dendrites

Symmetric interactions within a homogeneous starburst cell network can lead to robust asymmetries in dendrites of starburst amacrine cells.

Starburst amacrine cells in the mammalian retina respond asymmetrically to movement along their dendrites; centrifugal movement elicits stronger responses in each dendrite than centripetal movement. It has been suggested that the asymmetrical response can be attributed to intrinsic properties of the processes themselves. But starburst cells are known to release and have receptors for both GABA ...

Dendrites: bug or feature?

The integrative properties of dendrites are determined by a complex mixture of factors, including their morphology, the spatio-temporal patterning of synaptic inputs, the balance of excitation and inhibition, and neuromodulatory influences, all of which interact with the many voltage-gated conductances present in the dendritic membrane. Recent efforts to grapple with this complexity have focuse...

Computing with active dendrites

This paper introduces a new model of a spiking neuron with active dendrites and dynamic synapses (ADDS). The neuron employs the dynamics of the synapses and the active properties of the dendrites as an adaptive mechanism for maximising its response to a specific spatio-temporal distribution of incoming action potentials. The paper also presents a new spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP) alg...
