The mitral cell primary dendrite plays an important role in transmitting distal olfactory nerve input from olfactory glomerulus to the soma-axon initial segment. To understand how dendritic active properties are involved in this transmission, we have combined dual soma and dendritic patch recordings with computational modeling to analyze action-potential initiation and propagation in the primary dendrite.

The autolaunch example produces all figures as well as the fit to the
Shen 1999 data for high and low current stimulus in soma and primary
electrodes. Figures in the paper can also be generated by directly
launching:
