Highlights
• Cortical neurons are well approximated by a deep neural network (DNN) with 5–8 layers
• DNN’s depth arises from the interaction between NMDA receptors and dendritic morphology
• Dendritic branches can be conceptualized as a set of spatiotemporal pattern detectors
• We provide a unified method to assess the computational complexity of any neuron type
