Signal propagation in oblique dendrites of CA1 pyramidal cells.

</a>
The model shows how the back- and forward propagation of action potentials 
in the oblique dendrites of CA1 neurons could be modulated by local properties 
such as morphology or active conductances.
The simulation reproduces Fig.2A of the paper, using neuron 5038804:

Under unix systems:
to compile the mod files use the command 
nrnivmodl 
and run the simulation hoc file with the command 
nrngui fig2A.hoc

Under Windows systems:
to compile the mod files use the "mknrndll" command.
A double click on the simulation file
fig2A.hoc 
will open the simulation window.
