"The basal and distal apical dendrites of pyramidal cells occupy distinct\ncortical layers and are targeted by axons originating in different cortical\nregions. Hence, apical and basal dendrites receive information from distinct\nsources. Physiological evidence suggests that this anatomically observed\nsegregation of input sources may have functional significance. This possibility\nhas been explored in various connectionist models that employ neurons with\nfunctionally distinct apical and basal compartments. A neuron in which separate\nsets of inputs can be integrated independently has the potential to operate in a\nvariety of ways which are not possible for the conventional model of a neuron in\nwhich all inputs are treated equally. This article thus considers how\nfunctionally distinct apical and basal dendrites can contribute to the\ninformation processing capacities of single neurons and, in particular, how\ninformation from different cortical regions could have disparate affects on\nneural activity and learning.\n"^^ .
