Abstract
Efficiency of synaptic potential propagation through neurons depends mainly on their membrane properties and intracellular resistivity. We use a morphologically realistic compartmental model of a mitral cell and data obtained from whole-cell patch-clamp and voltage-imaging experiments to explore passive parameter space in which reported low EPSP attenuation is observed.
