NEURON files from the paper:
Single neuron binding properties and the magical number 7,
by M. Migliore, G. Novara, D. Tegolo, Hippocampus, in press (2008).
In an extensive series of simulations with realistic morphologies and active properties,
we demonstrate how n radial (oblique) dendrites of these neurons may be used to bind n inputs
to generate an output signal.
The results suggest a possible neural code as the most effective n-ple of dendrites that
can be used for short-term memory recollection of persons, objects, or places.
Our analysis predicts a straightforward physiological explanation for the observed
puzzling limit of about 7 short-term memory items that can be stored by humans.
