Serge Korogod and Suzanne Tyc-Dumont characterize the dendrites as an immense unknown. They have been pioneers in exploring this frontier. In this book they have distilled lifetimes of work by themselves and colleagues in France and the Ukraine to formulate new rules for how the electrical states of dendritic arborizations represent space and time in generating the neural code. In clear language they show how the interactions between these passive and active properties and dendritic geometry create different scales of dynamical dendritic space. New insights are provided into the significance of the dendrites of motoneurons, cerebellar Purkinje cells, and cortical pyramidal neurons. Their models available online give dramatic evidence for these insights. This is a key book for all those interested in dendrites and in the neural basis of cognition and behavior.' Gordon M.

Their alternative modelling approach to conventional models introduces the notion of a functional dendritic space, and they have concentrated on a detailed spatial description of the electrical states at all dendritic sites when the dendrites operate. By analyzing the electrical dendritic space in which all the signals are processed, the authors provide tools to explore the spatial dimension of the transient events well known by electrophysiologists. They demonstrate the mechanisms by which the operating dendrites decide how, in fine, the distributed synaptic inputs generate final various output discharges. Their approach reveals the mechanisms by which individual dendritic geometry determines the sequence of action potentials that is the neuronal code. An accompanying NeuronViewer allows readers to monitor the simulation of operating dendritic arborization.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.
