A Single Neuron Model to Study the Mechanisms and Functions of Dendritic Development

abstract: Dendrites are the structures of a neuron specialized to receive input signals and to provide the substrate for the formation of synaptic contacts with other cells. The goal of this work is to study the activity-dependent mechanisms underlying dendritic growth in a single-cell model. For th...
