A SOFTWARE FOR SIMULATING ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF PASSIVE DENDRITES

Abstract

In this study, a software is introduced for simulating the electrical properties of passive dendrite based on the cable theory. Dendrites along which the synaptic information is conveyed are the largest component of a neuron in surface area. The Cable theory for dendritic neurons addresses to current-voltage relations in a continuous passive dendritic tree. It is briefly summarized that the cable theory related to passive cables and dendrites, which is a useful approximation and an important reference for excitable cases. The proposed software can be used to construct user-defined dendritic tree model. The user can define the model in detail, display the constructed dendritic tree, and examine the basic electrical properties of the dendritic tree.
