Abstract
We report two results from a simulation study of spatial temporal interactions in a dendritic tree during large-scale synaptic input. The first is a feedback mechanism following individual synaptic inputs, which results in a reversal of the axial current 1-2 ms after activation of an input. The second is a time domain transfer function analysis between the membrane potential fluctuations at different sites. During large-scale synaptic input, this has a symmetrical structure, indicative of a two-way flow of axial current in the dendritic tree. We interpret this as an indication of a synchronous correlation structure between membrane potential fluctuations during large-scale synaptic input, which may have implications for our understanding of synaptic integration.
