Answer Posted / Satendra Pratap Singh

Dendrites, the branches of neurons that receive incoming signals from other neurons, can perform various types of computations. For example, dendritic spines, small protrusions on dendrites, can act as independent computing units that integrate multiple inputs and generate output signals. Dendritic trees can also perform linear operations such as summation or multiplication of incoming signals through passive properties like membrane potentials or active properties like voltage-gated ion channels. Furthermore, dendrites can store information through long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD), which are synaptic plasticity mechanisms that strengthen or weaken synapses based on previous activity patterns.
