Nat Neurosci. 4:2001;853-855 The authors demonstrate that scaling of synaptic conductances by their electronic distance, as measured for single synaptic inputs in CA1 pyramidal cells in slices, becomes 'self-defeating' in vivo. This is because as more inputs become active, the resulting increase in membrane conductance shunts the propagation of distal inputs towards the soma.

Science. 293:2001;2272-2275 Similar to the findings of Schiller et al. [14] in basal dendrites of neocortical cells, the authors reported that thin branches in the apical trees of CA1 pyramidal cells generated powerful slow spike-like responses when a threshold level of synaptic input (mimicked through glutamate uncaging) was reached.

J Physiol. 533:2001;447-466 In studying coupling between somatic and apical dendritic spike-generating zones, the authors showed that either small dendritic current injections or a distal synaptic input paired with a single backpropagating action potential evoked at the soma led to a BAC spike, which in turn caused a burst of 2-3 spikes at the soma. They also found that properly timed inhibition could interrupt the soma-dendritic spike coupling, and examined how current injected in the middle of the apical dendrite can modulate forward and backpropagation of APs, leading to the formulation of a three-compartment model.

Nat Neurosci. 5:2002;332-340 The authors use information theory to define a new measure of synaptic efficacy, the synaptic information efficacy (SIE) that captures the impact of a single synaptic input on the output. This offers a more rigorous way of quantifying changes in synaptic strength following synaptic plasticity, and of determining which biophysical factors are most important in determining synaptic efficacy measured in terms of spike output.

J Neurosci. 21:2001;9151-9159 Using outside-out patches to study the properties and distribution of synaptic glutamate receptors, the authors found that AMPA receptor number increased by a factor of two over a several hundred μm stretch of the apical dendritic tree. This finding helps account for the surprising earlier observation [2] that somatic EPSP amplitude is nearly independent of synaptic location over this same range.
28. Williams S.R., Stuart G.J. Dependence of EPSP efficacy on synapse location in neocortical pyramidal neurons. Science. 295:2002;1907-1910 The authors show that in layer 5 pyramidal neurons, unlike in CA1 pyramidal neurons, synaptic conductance is not scaled by electrotonic location. The substantial attenuation of distal dendritic inputs can be overcome by the boost provided by dendritic calcium spikes initiated by synchronous distal synaptic input.

J Neurophysiol. 85:2001;926-937 This study demonstrates that dendritic geometry, together with channel densities and properties, plays a crucial role in determining both forward and backpropagation of action potentials and dendritic spikes. The range of backpropagation efficacies observed experimentally can thus be linked to diversity in dendritic geometry. It is also shown that the sensitivity to channel modulation depends on the details of the dendritic geometry. These features are explained by a simple cable model of the neuron.

Science. 291:2001;138-141 The authors show that the large conductances activated by the axonally initiated AP substantially shunt appropriately timed EPSPs. Synaptic inputs with slow kinetics, or arising at distal synapses, are relatively spared by this shunting mechanism. These findings suggest that for proximal synapses synaptic integration time depends on firing rate and that integration of distal inputs can proceed uninterrupted by somatic AP firing. The difference in shunting between pyramidal and Purkinje neurons indicates that shunting may be regulated on a cell-specific level.

Neuron. 37:2003;989-999 The authors test the power of several simple abstract models to predict the firing rate of their complex biophysical CA1 pyramidal cell model. They found that the best predictions were produced by a simple formula that mapped the physical subcomponents of the cell onto those of an abstract two-layer 'neural network'. In the first layer, synaptic inputs drive dozens of independent sigmoidal subunits corresponding to the long, thin terminal dendrites that make up the bulk of the cell's receptive surface. In the second layer, the thin branch outputs are summed within the main trunk and cell body before final thresholding.

Neuron. 37:2003;977-987 The authors replicate a wide variety of in vitro data in a detailed compartmental model of a CA1 pyramidal neuron, and then use the model to address an array of methodological issues that can complicate the interpretation of dual input synaptic summation data. New experiments are proposed along with predicted outcomes.

Neuron. 29:2001;779-796 The authors used combinatorial analysis and computer simulations to quantify memory capacity as a function of dendritic geometry, finding that the long-term storage capacity of neural tissue may lie primarily in the selective addressing of synaptic contacts onto dendritic subunits.

Neuron. 34:2002;275-288 To address the issue of structural plasticity on a short time scale and its consequences for storage capacity, the authors use simple but elegant geometric arguments to calculate the 'filling fraction' of cortical tissue. The filling fraction is the number of synaptic contacts actually made by the dendrite divided by the number of axons that are in principle accessible to the dendrite, that is, within a distance of one spine length.

94. Golding N.L., Staff N.P., Spruston N. Dendritic spikes as a mechanism for cooperative long-term potentiation. Nature. 418:2002;326-331 The authors show that dendritic spikes triggered by cooperative synaptic input to the distal dendrites of CA1 pyramidal cells contribute to the postsynaptic depolarisation and calcium entry necessary to trigger LTP. This form of plasticity does not require axonal action potentials, suggesting that dendritic spikes may functionally link together neighbouring groups of synapses by triggering plasticity in local dendritic domains.
