520 This collection of fifteen previously published papers,
some of them not widely available, have been carefully
chosen and annotated by Rall's colleagues and other
leading neuroscientists. Wilfrid Rall was a pioneer in
establishing the integrative functions of neuronal
dendrites that have provided a foundation for neurobiology
in general and computational neuroscience in particular.
This collection of fifteen previously published papers,
some of them not widely available, have been carefully
chosen and annotated by Rall's colleagues and other
leading neuroscientists. It brings together Rall's work
over more than forty years, including his first papers
extending cable theory to complex dendritic trees, his
ground-breaking paper introducing compartmental analysis
to computational neuroscience, and his studies of synaptic
integration in motoneurons, dendrodendritic interactions,
plasticity of dendritic spines, and active dendritic
properties. Today it is well known that the brain's
synaptic information is processed mostly in the dendrites
where many of the plastic changes underlying learning and
memory take place. It is particularly timely to look again
at the work of a major creator of the field, to appreciate
where things started and where they have led, and to
correct any misinterpretations of Rall's work. The
editors' introduction highlights the major insights that
were gained from Rall's studies as well as from those of
his collaborators and followers. It asks the questions
that Rall proposed during his scientific career and
briefly summarizes the answers.
