How dendrites help solve biological and machine learning problems
Dendrites are thin processes that extend from the cell body of neurons, the main computing units of the brain. The role of dendrites in complex brain functions has been investigated for several decades, yet their direct involvement in key behaviors such as for example sensory perception has only recently been established. In my presentation I will discuss how computational modelling has helped us illuminate dendritic function. I will present the main findings of a number of projects in lab dealing with dendritic nonlinearities in excitatory and inhibitory and their consequences on neuronal tuning and memory formation, the role of dendrites in solving nonlinear problems in human neurons and recent efforts to advance machine learning algorithms by adopting dendritic features.
Dendritic nonlinearities and synapse type-specific input clustering enable the development of input selectivity in a wide range of settings.
