Model of cAMP signaling pathways in hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons investigate mechanisms underlying the experimentally observed difference in cAMP and PKA FRET between proximal and distal dendrites. Simulations show that compartmental difference in PKA activity required enrichment of protein phosphatase in small compartments; neither reduced PKA subunits nor increased PKA substrates were sufficient.
