title: Multimodal information processing in neurons.
abstract: Advances in neuroscience research have led to substantial expansion and even revision of many concepts of neuronal structure and function. The essence of this progress is contained in the knowledge that there are multiple modes of information processing in neurons and even subneuronal elements such as the dendrite. The challenge and opportunity of the new findings lies in understanding how the various modes are integrated in complex brain function. Progress in this area should offer new insights into the pathophysiology of neurological disease.
