Independently outgrowing neurons and geometry-based synapse formation produce networks with realistic synaptic connectivity.

Neuronal signal integration and information processing in cortical networks critically depend on the organization of synaptic connectivity. During development, neurons can form synaptic connections when their axonal and dendritic arborizations come within close proximity of each other. Although many...
