From: Brain-wide dendrites in a near-optimal performance of dynamic range and information transmission
(a) Two examples of brain-wide neuron digital reconstructions of Pyramidal cells; the brain is from C57BL/6J mouse line4,26. (b) The correlation of node number and number of branches connected to the soma in dendrites for both virtually generated random dendrites (black) and actual brain-wide dendrites (red); Pearson correlation value r is indicated and \(p<0.05\), suggesting a strong positive correlation between the number of nodes and the number of branches. (c) The dynamic range \(\Delta ^*\), average of relative energy consumption \(E^*\) and dynamic range ratio R in relation to the number of branches in virtual random constructed dendrites (dots) as well as actual brain-wide dendrites (circles). Here we use \(P_\lambda =0.8\) in computation. Goodness of fit \(R^2\) is indicated for each curve.
