A neuron has a long dendritic process. The dendrite has radius "a", input resistance of 0.5 MQ, a length constant of 200 m, and a time constant of 3 ms. The dendrite receives a steady state depolarizing stimulus of 15 nA from an electrode 250 m away from a recording electrode (stimulus 1), and a steady state hyperpolarizing stimulus of 10 nA at a distance of 225 m from the same recording electrode (stimulus 2) With respect to the voltage at the recording electrode, does it make any difference whether the stimulation electrodes are on the same side or opposite sides of the recording electrode? Why or why not? Reference: RTF-25.7mV
