Analytical solutions to a multicylinder somatic shunt cable model for passive neurones with spines
1Department of Applied Mathematics, Technical University of Nova Scotia, Halifax, Canada.
Abstract:
A multicylinder somatic shunt model for spiny, passive neurones is considered. The spines are modelled as a continuum (after Baer & Rinzel, 1991), coupled through the spread of dendritic voltage. A general solution is developed and a relationship governing the contribution of dendrites, soma, and spines to the voltage response is derived.
