🧠 Dendritic Integration Lab: Cable Theory, NMDA Spikes & Coincidence Detection

Solve the cable equation on a branched neuron: click dendrites to place AMPA, NMDA and GABA synapses, watch voltage fade along the branch, see an NMDA spike appear when a cluster is tight enough, and scan the timing window of coincidence detection. Nine live validation checks against analytic results, three levels (Explore, Student, Researcher).
