Sounds like my life :-]
I'm not sure, but synaptic contacts on the cell body
are probably sufficient because they are involved in
critical rapid-sum-and-fire relationships with respect
to their afferents.
But what I really wanted to say is that the way you
"go for it" is like a breath of fresh air.
Takes me back to when the world lay before me,
in my youth.
And I enjoy being reminded of what's good and
True in an Explorer's 'heart'.
