The paper investigates how dendritic turnover zones in the secondary motor cortex support rule switching without expanding the cortical engram by analyzing spine dynamics and modeling synaptic reorganization.

DendroTweaks provides an interactive toolbox for exploring and validating detailed biophysical neuronal models with active dendrites.

The paper shows that clustered excitatory synapses on dendrites improve place field encoding efficiency in hippocampal neurons compared to randomized distributions.

This study shows that synaptic turnover improves learning efficiency in spiking neural networks, especially under resource constraints.

The paper introduces Dendrify, a Python framework that generates simplified yet biologically relevant neuron models with dendritic properties for spiking neural networks.

This study shows that LEC inputs drive dendritic spikes in CA1 pyramidal neurons via a disinhibitory VIP interneuron circuit, revealing a mechanism for context-specific hippocampal coding.

Hippocampal pyramidal cells show branch-specific tuning for different place fields, and their coupling to their soma changes with experience of an environment.

This study investigates spatial coding and neural synchronization in epilepsy using in vivo calcium imaging and network modeling, finding impaired spatial processing and desynchronized firing in epileptic mice.

This study uses a computational model to show that dendrites of DG granule cells enhance pattern separation by maintaining sparsity, and their atrophy impairs this function.
