CA1 Pyramidal Neuron: Synaptic Scaling (London, Segev 2001)


Help downloading and running models
Accession:7485
London and Segev (2001) discuss location dependent and location independent synaptic scaling in a model CA1 neuron with passive dendrites. The freely available text is followed by a critique by Maggee and Cook who comment that the London and Segev model is accurate and informative and however needs to be augmented by active channels in dendrites.
