Hello #dendrites friends! Check out our new paper, published at @NatureComms : "Challenging the point neuron dogma: FS basket cells as 2-stage neural networks. nature.com/articles/s4146…
Briefly, we predicted through #computational simulations that the #dendrites of #Fast_spiking #interneurons in #Hippocampal #CA3 and #PFC areas come in two #nonlinear flavors: Supralinear and sublinear!
This bimodal nonlinear behavior is determined by differences in the morphology (volume) of the dendritc branches. These differences can causally enable or prohibit the existence of #sodium_spikes. Interestingly, both types coexist in all model neurons tested!
