The nodose neuron is thus the first instance, apart from cardiac myocytes, where CICR has been demonstrated to mediate a physiologically important process. Probing Synaptic Integration by Photostimulation A single neuron in the central nervous system may receive inputs from thousands of neighboring neurons through as many as 104 synapses located on its highly-branched dendritic tree. From the myriads of spatially and temporally distinct synaptic inputs, a single sequence of discrete electrical pulses is generated by the neuron as output. The procedure by which the dendritic tree processes diverse inputs separated in time and space is termed dendritic integration. Cohen, A.S., D. Weinreich, and J.P.Y. Kao.
