Por que neurônios têm dendritos ativos?

Dendritic trees perform non-linear input-output transformations such that the capacity to distinguish between different stimulus intensities, measured by the dynamic range (Delta) increases monotonically with coupling p_lambda and the tree size (G [= number of biffurcations in the binary tree]). The tree topology can produce very large dynamic ranges (above 50 dB).

Dear Mr. Gollo,

I’m pleased to inform you that your article “Active Dendrites Enhance Neuronal Dynamic Range” has just been published in PLoS Computational Biology! You can view your paper here:

As an open-access journal, we encourage you to share this link with friends or colleagues, who may freely read, reproduce, distribute or use (with attribution) your paper. Feel free to translate it, post it to institutional archives, reproduce figures, add it to course packs, burn it onto CD or put it to use in any other way.

In addition, our website has online functionality allowing readers to rate articles, add short notes to specific sections of your article, and provide general comments about your manuscript as a whole. When this happens, you will be notified of any activity on your paper. We encourage you to participate as actively as possible in post-publication commentary and ratings to promote lively community discourse.

This is independent of the manuscript submission and review system. When creating your PLoS profile, it is important to use the same email address provided when submitting your paper so that you can be identified as the corresponding author. Most post-publication activity occurs in the first two weeks after publication, so we encourage you to check your article regularly, and start debate by posing questions and inviting responses. If you have any feedback about the publication process, please send it directly to the Managing Editor, Catherine Nancarrow at cnancarrow@plos.org.

Congratulations; we hope you will continue to publish with PLoS Computational Biology in the future.

With best wishes,
