About the Book

Wilfrid Rall was a pioneer in establishing the integrative functions of neuronal dendrites that have provided a foundation for neurobiology in general and computational neuroscience in particular. This collection of 15 papers, some of them not widely available, have been carefully chosen and annotated by Rall's colleagues and other leading neuroscientists. It brings together Rall's work over more than 40 years, including his first papers extending cable theory to complex dendritic trees, his ground-breaking paper introducing compartmental analysis to computational neuroscience, and his studies of synaptic integration in motoneurons, dendrodendritic interactions, plasticity of dendritic spines, and active dendritic properties. Today it is well known that the brain's synaptic information is processed mostly in the dendrites where many of the plastic changes underlying learning and memory take place. It is particularly timely to look again at the work of a major creator of the field, to appreciate where things started and where they have led, and to correct any misinterpretations of Rall's work. The editors' introduction highlights the major insights that were gained from Rall's studies as well as from those of his collaborators and followers. It asks the questions that Rall proposed during his scientific career and briefly summarizes the answers. The papers include commentaries by Milton Brightman, Robert E. Burke, William R. Holmes, Donald R. Humphrey, Julian J.B. Jack, John Miller, Stephen Redman, John Rinzel, Idan Segev, Gordon M. Shepherd, and Charles Wilson.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Introduction: overview of Wilfred Rall's contributions to understanding dendritic function, Idan Segev, John Rinzel and Gordon M. Shepherd. Part 2 Cable properties of neurons with complex dendritic trees: Rall (1957) membrane time constant of motoneurons; Rall (1959) branching dendritic trees and motoneuron membrane resistivity; Rall (1960) membrane potential transients and membrane time constant of motoneurons. Part 3 Interpreting extracellular field potentials from neurons with dendritic trees: introduction to Rall (1962), Donald R. Humphrey; editorial comment with an excerpt from Rall (1992). Part 4 Compartmental method for modelling neurons and the analysis of dendritic integration: Rall (1964) theoretical significance of dendritic trees for neuronal input-output relations. Part 5 Models of olfactory bulb neurons and dendrodendritic synaptic interactions: introduction, Gordon M. Shepherd with supplemental comments by Milton Brightman; Rall, Shepherd, Reese and Brightman (1966) dendrodendritic synaptic pathway for inhibition in the olfactory bulb; Rall and Shepherd (1968) theoretical reconstruction of field potentials and dendrodendritic synaptic interactions in olfactory bulb. Part 6 Motoneuron models of distributed dendritic synapses and mechanisms of nonlinear synaptic interactions: Rall (1967) distinguishing theoretical synaptic potentials computed for different soma-dendritic distributions of synaptic input. Part 7 Equalizing time constants and electrotonic length of dendrites: Rall (1969) time constants and electrotonic length of membrane cylinders and neurons. Part 8 Analysis of response to single inputs in a complex dendritic tree: introduction, Charles Wilson with supplemental comments by John Rinzel; Rall and Rinzel (1973) branch input resistance and steady attenuation for input to one branch of a dendritic neuron model; Rinzel and Rall (1974) transient response in a dendritic neuron model for current injected at one branch. Part 9 Effects of changing diameter on impulse propagation: Goldstein and Rall (1974) changes of action potential shape and velocity for changing core conductor geometry. Part 10 Dendritic spines - plasticity, learning and active amplification: introduction, Gordon M. Shepherd with supplemental comments by John Miller; Rall (1974) dendritic spines, synaptic potency and neuronal plasticity; Miller, Rall and Rinzel (1985) synaptic amplification by active membrane in dendritic spines.
