Dendrites: Substrates for Information Processing
March 18-21, 2012

Information processing and storage in neuronal dendrites mediate the circuit computations that underlie behavior. There are four interacting aspects: 1) synaptic input is delivered by circuit connectivity, 2) the electrical properties of dendrites, 3) transformation of input into specific patterns of network output, and 4) various forms of plasticity respond to this activity. This meeting will examine these four aspects (connectivity, electrical properties, transformations and plasticity) in the context of circuit computations.
