Cable Properties of Neurons

1. Current balance eqn – cable: derivation, HH, passive case, space constant, boundary conditions, dimensionless variables.
2. Compartmental method.
3. Spatio-temporal V(x,t).
   Passive – steady state; transient – many time constants.
   Active – local stimulus, propagating impulse (simulations/animations)
   -- speed ≈ diam1/2
4. Case studies: Rall/Shepherd: dendrodendritic synapses; MSO: Iklt in dendrites;
5. recommend: FitzHugh film.
