Transient potentials in dendritic systems of arbitrary geometry

Transient potentials in dendritic systems of arbitrary geometry

E G Butz et al. Biophys J. 1974 Sep.

Abstract

A simple graphical calculus is developed that generates analytic solutions for membrane potential transforms at any point on the dendritic tree of neurons with arbitrary dendritic geometries, in response to synaptic "current" inputs. Such solutions permit the computation of transients in neurons with arbitrary geometry and may facilitate analysis of the role of dendrites in such cells.
