Abstract
⺠Used NEURON software to model the passive and active properties of morphologically precise neurons. ⺠Examined effects of asymmetric voltage attenuation on summation of synaptic potentials and on action potential initiation. ⺠Results showed that the transfer voltages between a pair of dendritic sites were always equal. ⺠These transfer voltages provided equal contribution to the summation of synaptic currents and to action potential onset. ⺠The site of action potential onset differed according to input resistance, channel density and synaptic noise.
