Neuroelectric Tuning of Cortical Oscillations by Apical Dendrites in Loop Circuits

Bundles of relatively long apical dendrites dominate the neurons that make up the thickness of the cerebral cortex. It is proposed that a major function of the apical dendrite is to produce sustained oscillations at a specific frequency that can serve as a common timing unit for the processing of in...
