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.
