The explanation for the surprising large impact of the impedance load of the basal tree on signal propagation in the apical tree is elaborated in the Discussion. Modeling EPSPs latency and velocity in ...

Faithful biophysical models of human and rat L2/3 PCs, combined with pharmacological manipulations of membrane properties, showed both the larger diameter of the apical dendrite and the larger ...

The authors develop an analysis package for characterizing the activity of neural dendrites and soma using optical imaging and show that apical dendrites are more stable in spatial representations ...
