Figure 4. Band length and location influence threshold.

Figure 4

(a) Threshold as a function of stimulating electrode position for a model cell (ĜNa ratio of 20) tested with three different band lengths. The left edge of the band was fixed at a distance of 30 µm from the soma for all simulations. The lower and upper horizontal lines indicate the minimum threshold for the longest band (60 µm) and the shortest band (20 µm) respectively (b) Similar to (a) except the right edge of the band was now fixed at a distance of 70 µm for all simulations. The horizontal lines extended from (a) allow comparisons of threshold between the plots. LE: distance from the soma to the left (proximal) edge of the band (in µm); RE: distance from the soma to the right (distal) edge of the band.
