Order in disorder: A key feature of dendritic organization in the brain

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J Scientists have found that synaptic inputs in the visual cortex are locally -- but not globally -- organized. This local functional synaptic clustering applies to a diverse set of inputs and appears to be a fundamental principle of dendritic organization. Future work should reveal more about the source of these clustered inputs and how clusters arise during the development of neural circuits.
