This project aims to determine the electrical properties of dendrites in human neurons. Dendrites are the primary site of synaptic input to neurons and their electrical properties play a key role in information processing in the brain. While we know much about the electrical properties of dendrites in other species, primarily rodents, little is known about the electrical properties of human dendrites. This project aims to address this gap in knowledge for the first time. The results obtained will shed light on the mechanisms the brain uses to process information, and therefore will bring us a step closer to truly understanding ourselves.

该项目旨在确定人类神经元树突的电学特性。树突是神经元突触输入的主要部位，其电学特性在大脑信息处理中起着关键作用。虽然我们对其他物种（主要是啮齿动物）树突的电学特性知道得很多，但对人类树突的电学特性却知之甚少。该项目旨在首次解决这一知识缺口。获得的结果将阐明大脑处理信息的机制，因此将使我们更接近真正了解自己。
