Equivalent cylinder model and cable equation.
The passive cable equation mat.
In its analytical form the cable equation can only be applied to passive dendrites with current sources i e no synaptic or voltage gated conductances.
To get started import the module and call the demo function.
Nerve and muscle were begun in the 1840 s by mat teucci professor of physics at pisa and by du bois.
Of cable λ long.
Rall realized however that dendrites were not likely to function as purely passive cables so he also applied the cable equation to numerical simulations in order to facilitate simulation.
Estimates are made by modeling dendrites and axons as cylinders composed of segments with capacitances and resistances combined in parallel see fig.
In this reduced model a dendritic tree was collapsed into a single cylinder.
Cable versus wave equation.
Lectures by walter lewin.
Classical cable theory uses mathematical models to calculate the electric current and accompanying voltage along passive neurites particularly the dendrites that receive synaptic inputs at different sites and times.

By numerically solving the cable equation they showed that the rate of.
For the love of physics walter lewin may 16 2011 duration.
The neuron soma lies at one end x 0 while the dendritic terminals lie at the other end x l.
It can be verified that it is also equivalent to the total axial resistance for a cableoflength λ.
