Growth patterns of neuronal dendrites - an attempted probabilistic description
article
A mathematical model of dendritic branching patterns of cortical neurons is presented which describes the ontogenetic development as a function of space and time. Comparison with experimental data from the literature suggests strongly that the growth rate of a dendrite fluctuates around a mean value; the mean value is probably age-dependent. Furthermore, at the site of a bifurcation a variable delay in outgrowth for one of the two daughter segments is conjectured. © 1971 Springer-Verlag.
