Dendritic action potentials and computation in human layer 2/3 cortical neurons.
Paper summary
Records active dendritic properties in human cortical neurons and identifies graded calcium-mediated dendritic action potentials. The study argues that these nonlinear events enable individual neurons to classify inputs beyond a simple linear threshold.
Relevance to the project
Supports allowing F richer nonlinear integration than a weighted sum and scalar activation. Biological complexity does not require copying every channel mechanism.
The local copy is a manuscript; findings concern the sampled ex-vivo cells.
