Measured at: | elec | distal | elec | distal |
dend1 | 0.95 | 0.93 | 0.70 | 0.65 |
dend2 | 0.90 | 0.92 | 0.51 | 0.64 |

Each row indicates a morphological location for which we simulated the ratio of voltage amplitude at measurement site over voltage at current injection site for two conditions: injecting distally and measuring at somatic electrode (elec), and injecting at the electrode and measuring distally (distal). Experiments were repeated for direct current (DC, 0 Hz) and high frequency (sinusoidal, 100 Hz) stimuli. In addition to the two dendritic locations (dend1 & 2) in the ipsilateral arbor shown in Fig 4A, we also tested the distal-most tip of the contralateral dendritic arbor (contra tip) and the spike initiation zone (SIZ—see Fig 6D).
