Fig 7. NaT sodium current component was filtered more than NaP in the simulated morphology.

Fig 7

(A) Total axial sodium currents (top) recorded at several color-coded locations on the main neurite (axon) in response to voltage clamp. Voltage traces of the selected locations (bottom) showed that the quality of voltage clamp weakens distally. Model NaP (B) and NaT (C) current components recorded where they originated in the extended axon SIZ segment for in the original model (black), in models where the NaT (green) or NaP (blue) component was increased 5-fold. (D) Clamp currents recorded at the soma for the same three conditions and in a model where the SIZ was 20 μm closer to the soma (50 μm).
