Comparison of responses to focalized or distributed inputs in the model. A: the same set of synaptic inputs was delivered focally at the soma or distributed over the dendrites and resulted in very similar membrane voltage trajectories and spike patterns. B and C: the calcium-gated voltage-independent potassium (SK) and high-voltage-activated calcium currents (CaHVA) in the soma (B) and distal dendrites (C) are activated similarly by focalized or distributed dendritic input, despite the very different localization of inputs.
