Figure 5. Firing properties evoked by coincident somatic and dendritic inputs.

Figure 5

The firing rate fS of the 5D model is calculated for three values of Inline graphic, which are (a) Inline graphic. (b) Inline graphic and (c) Inline graphic, respectively. For (a–c), top panels give the average firing rate fS plotted against input IS and ID. Bottom panels show the Inline graphic curves with different values of ID. The bifurcation diagrams related to coincident inputs at soma and dendrite with each value of Inline graphic are given in (d) and (e). Here the bifurcation parameter is somatic input IS. We compute one-parameter bifurcation with two values of dendritic input, which are (d) Inline graphic and (e) Inline graphic. The lower value of ID is unable to activate dendritic Ca2+ conductance, but the latter could trigger dendritic Ca2+ spike. Type of the bifurcation for equilibrium or limit cycle is indicated on each plot.
