Growing dendrites enhance a neuron's computational power and memory capacity
Neocortical pyramidal neurons have many dendrites, and such dendrites are capable of, in isolation of one-another, generating a neuronal spike. It is also now understood that there is a large amount of dendritic growth during the first years of a humans life, arguably a period of prodigious learning...
