Computer modelling at the single-neuron level

Nature volume 347, pages 783–784 (1990)Cite this article

The computational capabilities of a single neuron depend to a large extent upon the structural and electrical properties of its dendritic branches. New modelling algorithms and a new generation of powerful UNIX workstations are being applied to the study of neuronal information processing.
