Neurotransmitters: Modifying channel function

Modifying Dendritic Structure After Function

Neurons develop highly specialized dendritic architecture for certain operations of information processing in the brain. In this chapter, we review the development and regulation of characterized patterns of dendritic morphology and arrangement of bipolar neurons in the auditory brainstem, an excellent example of highly specialized dendritic architecture for their function in temporal coding an...

Neurotransmitters

The nervous system processes sensory information and controls behavior by performing an enormous number of computations. These computations occur both within cells and between cells, but it is intercellular information processing, involving complex neural networks, that provides the nervous system with its remarkable functional capacity. The principal cells involved in information processing ar...
