A simulation study on the effects of dendritic morphology on layer V PFC pyramidal cell firing behavior

The majority of neuronal cells found in the cerebral cortex are pyramidal neurons. Their function has been associated with higher cognitive and emotional functions. Pyramidal neurons have a characteristic structure, consisting of a triangular shaped soma whereon descend two extended and complex dend...
