Table 3. Symmetry of voltage attenuation in the morphology.

0 Hz 100 Hz
Measured at: elec distal elec distal
dend1 0.95 0.93 0.70 0.65
dend2 0.90 0.92 0.51 0.64
contra tip 0.85 0.95 0.37 0.78
SIZ 0.83 0.65 0.10 0.33

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).
