Neurons have been classified by their firing properties and by their differing dendritic characteristics, architectures, and biophysical properties, suggesting the existence of design principles and computational goals. From a classical viewpoint, dendrites provide the pathways that funnel the many subthreshold postsynaptic potentials (PSPs) toward the soma, where the propagated–summated result...
