text: Dendrites provide a means for sparsifying plasticity without sparsifying patterns As an alternative both to this very simple sparsification approach, and to the "complex synapse" approach developed by Fusi and colleagues, adding a layer of dendritic learning units allows the memory to push further into the sparse plasticity regime without the need for very low pattern densities or plasticity probabilities.
