Abstract

Dendrites endow neurons with multiple compartments within their elaborate morphologies. In a recent study published in the journal Science, O'Hare et al. (2022) used elegant techniques to show that augmenting the intracellular calcium released by the endoplasmic reticulum caused behaviorally relevant plasticity to occur in spatially distinct dendritic compartments.
