Abstract :
An electronic model is described which features a multiple input compartmental system analogous to a dendritic net and a simulated action potential. The inputs to the model are rectangular voltage pulses which initiate excitatory and/or inhibitory conductance changes in the dendritic compartments; the outputs are the simulated action potential and a simultaneous rectangular voltage pulse. In addition, the membrane potential at each compartment and the depolarizing and hyperpolarizing conductances can be conveniently monitored.
