terra' una conferenza dal titolo
Why do cerebellar granule cells have four dendrites?
Abstract:
The number of dendrites of the the most numerous neuron in the brain -the granule cell of the cerebellum- is remarkably conserved throughout evolution and across animal species. In this talk, I will illustrate how this anatomical feature is constrained by the function that the cerebellum is required to perform.
