Dendritic contributions to biological and artificial computations

This Special Issue, dedicated to DENDRITES, emerged as an initiative to compile the insights gained during the EMBO Workshop series on dendritic anatomy, molecules and function that takes place since 2016, biannually, on the island of Crete. The issue touches upon all complexity levels -from the molecular all the way to the behavioral-probed with different in vitro, in vivo and in computo techniques and ventures beyond neuroscience, into machine learning and neuromorphic engineering, placing dendrites at the center of numerous cross-disciplinary advances. We are thankful to all contributors, both speakers from the meeting and experts of the field, for making this Special Issue a wonderful journey about dendrites.
