Dendritic diameters affect the spatial variability of intracellular calcium dynamics in computer models

Dendritic diameters affect the spatial variability of intracellular calcium dynamics in computer models

There is growing interest in understanding calcium dynamics in dendrites, both experimentally and computationally. Many processes influence these dynamics, but in dendrites there is a strong contribution of morphology because the peak calcium levels are strongly determined by the surface to volume r...
