Stochasticity in Ca(2+) Increase in Spines Enables Robust and Sensitive Information Coding
A dendritic spine is a very small structure (∼0.1 µm(3)) of a neuron that processes input timing information. Why are spines so small? Here, we provide functional reasons; the size of spines is optimal for information coding. Spines code input timing information by the probability of Ca(2+) increase...
