Neurons exploit stochastic growth to rapidly and economically build dense dendritic arbors

Abstract Dendrites grow by stochastic branching, elongation, and retraction. A key question is whether such a mechanism is sufficient to form highly branched dendritic morphologies. Alternatively, does dendrite geometry depend on signals from other cells or from the topological hierarchy of the grow...
