Dendrite self-avoidance produces a uniform distribution of branches within the neuron’s territory through competitive interactions among dendrites emanating from the same neuron, or “self” dendrites (Fig. This process ensures efficient sampling of inputs by a given neuron. A crystal dendrite is a crystal that develops with a typical multi-branching tree-like form. Dendritic crystal growth is very common and illustrated by snowflake formation and frost patterns on a window. Dendritic crystallization forms a natural fractal pattern.
