title: Dendritic processing.
abstract: Dendritic processing multiplies the computational power of a single neuron by enabling the processing of inputs in a spatio-temporally differentiated manner. Recently, the development of new and refined optical, electrophysiological and molecular-biological techniques has led to new insights into dendritic function and revealed an astonishing plethora of computational mechanisms.
