Sticking and Signalling at the Synapse

How Did Humans, Animals and Plants Originate?

“…However,Schörnig et al. (2021) noted that human cortical pyramidal neuron dendrites are longer and more branched than chimpanzee pyramidal neuron dendrites ((Scholtens et al, 2014, van den Heuvel et al, 2015, see Goriounova et al, 2018), displaying that the larger dendrite in the neuron is closely correlated with the faster synaptic inputs (Testa-Silva et al, 2014) whereas synapse acts as a connection between two neurons(Babu, 2020). Larger neurons caused by larger dendrites can encode a larger number of rapidly changing temporal information more precisely in their output than smaller neurons caused by smaller dendrites(Goriounova et al, 2018).…”
