Accession:144385
A NEURON simulation has been created to model the passive spread of an EPSP from a mitral cell synapse on a granule cell spine. The EPSP was shown to propagate subthreshold through the dendritic shaft into an adjacent spine with significant amplitude (figure 2B).

TITLE Calcium ion accumulation with longitudinal and radial diffusion

COMMENT
PROCEDURE factors_cadiffus() sets up the scale factors 
needed to model radial diffusion.
These scale factors do not have to be recomputed
when diam is changed.
The amount of calcium in an annulus is ca[i]*diam^2*vol[i] 
with ca[0] being the 2nd order correct concentration at the exact edge
and ca[NANN-1] being the concentration at the exact center.
