Nodal membrane parameters: comparison of present data with previously reported simulation data
| Parameter | Present study* | B&F | Difference (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Threshold for single spikes (current density, mA/cm2) | 0.3351 | 0.3422 | 2.1 |
| Threshold for spike doublets (mA/cm2) | 0.5374 | 0.55 | 2.3 |
| Threshold for sustained firing (mA/cm2) | 0.5754 | 0.58 | 0.8 |
Nodal diameter, 12.5 μm; and nodal length, 1.5 μm. In both studies T = 20°C, and prolonged current steps were used to find threshold.
