简介
Key points
- The present study examines dendritic integrative processes that occur in many central neurons but have been challenging to study in vivo in the vertebrate brain. The Mauthner cell of goldfish receives auditory and visual information via two separate dendrites, providing a privileged scenario for in vivo examination of dendritic integration.
- The results show differential attenuation properties in the Mauthner cell dendrites arising at least partly from differences in cable properties and the nonlinear behaviour of the respective dendritic membranes.
- In addition to distinct modality‐dependent membrane specialization in neighbouring dendrites of the Mauthner cell, we report cross‐modal dendritic interactions via backpropagating postsynaptic potentials.
- Broadly, the results of the present study provide an exceptional example for the processing power of single neurons.
