The paper evaluates a computational model of hippocampal granule cells using information theory, finding they balance energy efficiency and functionality along a Pareto optimal front.

The paper shows that the skewed spine size distribution in neurons is not affected by synaptic activity or plasticity and forms early in neuronal development.

The paper uses computational modeling to show that synaptic and ion channel changes, rather than dendritic degeneration alone, explain neuronal hyperexcitability in Alzheimer's disease.

The paper shows that neuronal excitability in response to synaptic inputs is invariant to dendritic length, with voltage responses depending only on dendritic diameter and conductivity.
