Table 1. Description of somatodendritic gradients in passive properties and channel gradients used in the model.

Parameter Gradient of distribution
Specifc membrane resistivity, R m Rm(x)=Rm+(RmminRmmax)1+exp((RmHMPx)/Rmslope)kΩ/cm2
Axial resistivity, R a Ra(x)=Ra+(RaminRamax)1+exp((RaHMPx)/Raslope)Ωcm
Maximal conductance of NaF channels Na, uniform across the somatodendritic arbor, with the density at the axon initial segment set at 5 Na
Maximal conductance of KDR channels KDR, uniform across the somatodendritic arbor
Maximal conductance of KA channels gKA(x)=g¯KA(1+g¯kafold100)mS/cm2
Maximal conductance of h channels gh(x)=g¯h(1+g¯hfold1+exp((g¯hHMPx)/g¯hslope))μS/cm2
Maximal conductance of CaT channels gCaT(x)=g¯CaT(1+g¯CaTfold1+exp((g¯CaTHMPx)/g¯CaTslope))μS/cm2

x represents radial distance from the soma. These distributions are identical to those described in Basak and Narayanan (2018b)
