Dendritic synapse location and neocortical spike-timing-dependent plasticity

Dendritic synapse location and neocortical spike-timing-dependent plasticity

While it has been appreciated for decades that synapse location in the dendritic tree has a powerful influence on signal processing in neurons, the role of dendritic synapse location on the induction of long-term synaptic plasticity has only recently been explored. Here, we review recent work reveal...
