... Dendrites- are the branches that extend form the cell body. They receive and transmit information to the cell body from other neurons or sensory receptors. Axons- transmit impulses away from the cell body to another neuron, muscle cell or gland. Some axons are covered by a myelin sheath that allows ...

... All excitatory synaptic weights were initially set to 0.05 and could vary between zero and 0.1 due to STDP. At the maximal weight, each spike would have a 50% probability of evoking a spike in the postsynaptic neuron, due to its summation with intrinsic noise (Figure S1-7). The synaptic weights for ...
