A mathematical model for the growth of dendritic trees.
A theoretical model for calculating the total length of dendritic trees is presented. Predictions of velocity of dendritic growth, time when branching begins and mean maximal extent of dendritic tree derived from the model for apical dendrites in entorhinal cortex of the rat are presented.
