Conducting synaptic music in dendrites

Michael London1 & Idan Segev2

1  Michael London is at the Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research, University College London, London WC1E 6BT, UK.

2  Idan Segev is at the Interdisciplinary Center for Neural Computation and Department of Neurobiology, Hebrew University, Jerusalem, 91904, Israel. m.london@ucl.ac.uk

Thousands of active synapses on the dendrites drastically increase membrane conductance. Williams now shows that local processing is unaffected by conductance changes in distant regions, highlighting how functionally independent dendritic regions interact.
