Nonlinear Interactions in a Dendritic Tree: Localization, Timing and Role in Information Processing

In a dendritic tree transient synaptic inputs activating ionic conductances with an equilibrium potential near the resting potential can veto very effectively other excitatory inputs. Analog operations of this type can be very specific with respect to relative locations of the inputs and their...
