  • Title: Transient response in a somatic shunt cable model for synaptic input activated at the terminal.
    Author: Poznanski RR.
    Journal: J Theor Biol; 1987 Jul 07; 127(1):31-50. PubMed ID: 3669682.
    Abstract:
    Rall's neuron model is extended by including a non-uniform time constant together with synaptic input modeled as a square step of conductance. An analytic solution (in series form) for the electrotonic potential is obtained. The major conclusion reached is that a lower somatic time constant attenuates the amplitude of the potential at the soma, brought about by the activation of a synapse located at the distal end of the dendritic cable in an initially polarized neuron.
