An optimal wire and function trade-off emerges from noisy growth and stochastic retraction during Drosophila class I ventral posterior dendritic arborisation (c1vpda) dendrite development.

The membrane nonlinearities of the dendritic arbor of striatal cholinergic interneurons conspire with the spatial distribution of its excitatory inputs to preferentially boost thalamic inputs.

Advanced genetics and imaging reveal wiring logic underlying the olfactory map organization in the developing fruit fly brain, and strategies employed by projection neurons to target dendrites to specific locations in a timely manner.

Elaborate dendritic branch patterns lead to a local and branch-specific reduction in impedance, which attenuates back-propagating action potentials and limits voltage-gated calcium influx.

NMDA receptors mediate prominent supralinear summation of clustered excitatory inputs to the dendrites of neurogliaform and oriens-lacunosum moleculare interneurons of the hippocampus, showing that these cells perform sub-cellular computations.

Dendrites combine the inputs that they receive from other neurons using calculations that have been optimized for those particular input patterns.

A mechanistic model based on the interaction of activity-independent cues from potential synaptic partners and local activity-dependent synaptic plasticity generates growing dendritic morphologies and non-random synaptic organization during development.

Microglia that presumably sense neuronal activity via detection of glutamate at synapses in the hippocampus show higher fine process motility and increased contact rates associated with formation and elimination of dendritic spines under conditions of elevated neuronal activity.

The formation of long-term memory in mice requires an element of RNA granules that localizes messenger RNAs to dendrites.

A nerve bundle is not simply a cable of wires, but has order within it.
