equivalent circuit for a neuron. An excitatory post synaptic potential, an simplified equivalent circuit for a neuron, and a resistive network for the extracellular environment. A neuron with an excitatory synapse at the apical dendrite is presented in (a). From [2]. A simplified equivalent circuit is depicted in (b). The extracellular environment can be represented with a resistive network as illustrated in (c).
