“…To attain an integrative view of dendrite functional assembly we decided to analyse a genetically tractable animal model, such as Drosophila, with existing comprehensive research in the fields of dendrite development, structure and function. Extensive investigations in the emergence of dendritic morphology (Jan and Jan, 2010;Akin et al, 2019;Allen et al, 2006;Kohl et al, 2013;Lawrence Zipursky and Grueber, 2013;Ganguly et al, 2016) and on the specific impact of dendritic morphology on computation (Dewell and Gabbiani, 2017;Single and Borst, 1998;Gabbiani et al, 2002;Cuntz et al, 2003;He et al, 2019) make insects notably favorable to study mechanisms of development of dendrite form and function.…”
