Much is known about the functions and properties of neuronal dendrites, but rarely has dendritic activation been monitored while the dendrite performs a computational task. In this issue ofNeuron, Bollmann and Engert demonstrate that different regions of a dendrite in the tadpole optic tectum are tuned to stimuli in different locations of the visual field. Their study is the first direct demonstration that dendritic regions act as semi-independent functional units during sensory processing in a vertebrate central nervous system.
