Using the Change Manager Model for the Hippocampal System to Predict Connectivity and Neurophysiological Parameters in the Perirhinal Cortex

Figure 8

The receptive fields of a neuron. The basal dendrites define a receptive field within sensory input states. The apical dendrite defines a receptive field indicating when indirect activation of the neuron is appropriate. Conditions are defined by synapses on dendritic terminal branches, and a receptive field is detected if a significant proportion of the branches detect their conditions. In general, only one receptive field can contribute to neuron firing at one point in time.
