Neuroimaging methods such as functional MRI and magneto- / electroencephalography (MEG/EEG) cannot directly reveal causal relationships between regional brain activity and behavior.
Motivation and Objectives Why are ion channels localized in subcellular dendritic compartments and is there a tight coupling of the observed localization with neuron function?
