This 13-minute lecture from NPTEL-NOC IITM explores the active properties of dendrites, examining how these branched extensions of nerve cells contribute to neural processing beyond passive signal conduction. Learn about the voltage-gated ion channels in dendrites, backpropagating action potentials, dendritic spikes, and how these active mechanisms enhance the computational capabilities of neurons.
