"With the rapid increase in the number of technologies aimed at observing
electric activity inside the brain, scientists have felt the urge to create
proper links between intracellular- and extracellular-based experimental
approaches. Biophysical models at both physical scales have been formalized
under assumptions that impede the creation of such links. In this
work, we address this issue by proposing amulticompartment model that
allows the introduction of complex extracellular and intracellular resistivity
profiles. This model accounts for the geometrical and electrotonic
properties of any type of neuron through the combination of four devices:
the integrator, the propagator, the 3D connector, and the collector. ..."
