Compartmental model. The model consisted of one somatic compartment, 11 dendritic compartments, and included four populations of ion channels: a fast Na+ channel (gNa), a fast K+ channel (gA), a slow K+ channel (gK), and a K+ leak channel (gleak). Shown are the conductances, g = ηγ, where η is the channel density and γ is the single-channel conductance. The channel densities and single-channel conductances are given in Materials and Methods. The membrane capacitance, Cm = 1 μF/cm2, and the axial resistance, Ra = 200 Ωcm, are shown. The steady-state space constant, λ = 840 μm, gives a dimensionless dendritic electronic length of L = 0.475.
