 | Electrical Properties of Dendrites Help Explain the Brain’s Unique Computing Powerby Neuroscience News |
MIT neuroscientists can now record electrical activity from the dendrites of human neurons.NeuroscienceNews.com image is credited to Lou Beaulieu-Laroche and Mark Harnett.
Human dendrites have different electrical properties from those of other species, a new study reveals. Researchers report electrical signals weaken more as they flow along human dendrites, allowing small sections of dendrites to behave independently from the rest of the neuron.
