The dendrite circuit model with passive compartments: models the stimulus current from the adjacent neurons to the dendrite. Each compartment has membrane electromotive, resistive, and capacitive properties—, , and in the second compartment are noted. The batteries in the circuit, , are the Thevenin equivalent potential of all the ion channels. The axial resistance connects each compartment to the adjacent ones (remains unchanged among the neurons). Appropriate values for the membrane resistance and capacitance of the dendrite model are found to match the firing characteristics of each type of neuron.
