Abstract
Studies of information flow in the individual neuron have generally been based on the idea that the depolarization due to an activated excitatory synapse is passively propagated through the dendrite to the soma (Rall 1964). Recent evidence, however, demonstrates that the dendrites of cortical pyramidal cells contain significant concentrations of voltage-dependent channels (Stuart and Sakmann 1994).
