Sleeping dendrites: fiber-optic measurements of dendritic calcium activity in freely moving and sleeping animals
Dendrites are the post-synaptic sites of most excitatory and inhibitory synapses in the brain, making them the main location of cortical information processing and synaptic plasticity. Although current hypotheses suggest a central role for sleep in proper cognitive function and brain plasticity, vir...
