Reproduction of forward and backward propagations on dendrites by multi-compartment asynchronous cell automaton neuron
Naoki Shimada, Hiroyuki Torikai · 2014
The neuron is roughly divided into three parts: soma, dendrite, and an axon. In this paper, a multi-compartment neuron model the dynamics of which is described by an asynchronous cellular automaton is presented. It is shown that the model can reproduce typical propagations of action potentials from dendrites to a soma (forward propagation) and from a soma to dendrites (backward propagation).
