Figure 2. Continuous phase transition in active dendritic trees with non-stereotyped dendritic spikes.

(a), Average firing rate as a function of p_λ (which governs the coupling among branchlets) and p_δ (which governs the average spike duration) in numerical simulations for tree size G = 10. (b), Returning probability (see Methods for details) as a function of p_λ and p_δ. (c), Same as panel (a) but for the generalized excitable-wave mean-field approximation (see Methods for details).
