text: We show that over a several-fold range of both of these parameters, and over multiple orders-of-magnitude of memory size, capacity is maximized when dendrites contain a few hundred synapses—roughly the natural number found in memory-related areas of the brain.
text: We found that dendrites containing a few hundred synapses (as opposed to a few tens or a few thousand) maximize storage capacity, providing the first normative theory that accounts for the actual sizes of dendrites found in online memory areas of the brain.
text: All the while, the preference for dendrites containing a few hundred synapses remained essentially invariant.
text: (2) our showing that over a wide range of input pattern statistics and network sizes, memory capacity is maximized when dendrites contain a few hundred synapses, which corresponds to the typical dendrite size found in medial temporal lobe memory areas .
