Figure 11. Steady state and kinetics of RP in the single-conductance model.

Figure 11

(A) Steady-state RP along the outer dendrite for various values of the total pheromone-dependent conductance G p. Comparison of simulated values for N  =  40 compartments (solid lines) with analytical results given by eqs. (27) to (33) (dashed lines). (B) Kinetics of the transient state RP(t) close to tip of outer dendrite (X  =  5.5 µm, tip is taken as X  =  0) in response to step pulses of conductance G p of various strengths. Comparison of simulated values with N  =  40 compartments (solid lines) with analytical results (dashed lines) given by eqs. (38) to (41) based on an approximation correct only for small RP values. (C) Same at mid-length (X  =  110 µm). (D) Same at the base (X  =  220 µm).
