Analysis of the influence of differences in somatic symmetry and sharpness on the firing rate

摘要

The shape and the size of a pyramidal cell depend on hippocampus subregions and even on locations within a same subregion. In this paper, we analyze quantitatively influence of the differences in somatic symmetry and sharpness on the firing rate. The bursting rate (lower frequency) is unchanged by the differences in the symmetry and sharpness. However, the rate of repetitive action potential (higher frequency) is influenced by them. The rate of a swelling cell tends to get larger than that of shrinking one since the swelling cell fires at single spiking mode while the shrinking one at couple of spikes. The rate depends on the firing mode.
