Simulation of proximal and distal inputs.

<p>A, simulation of proximal (soma) and distal EPSCs seen with electrode placed at the soma. Distal synapse is at dendrite 0.95; assuming 0 as the proximal end and 1 as the distal end. Both synapses have the same kinetics and g_M (9.2*10⁻⁵ µS). The EPSC decay was fitted with an exponential. B, the electrotonic delay of the EPSC propagation to the soma as a function of the synapse location at the dendrite. The delay was measured to the moment when the EPSC seen at the soma reached 10% of its amplitude. C, the EPSC rise time (from 10% to 80%) as a function of the synapse location. D, simulation of proximal (soma) and distal (dendrite 0.95) EPSPs seen at the soma. The decay of the distal EPSP is fitted with one exponential, whereas that for the proximal EPSP with two exponential functions.
