Özet

In this study, a computer software, CableTeo, is introduced for simulating the steady-state electrical properties of passive dendrite based on the cable theory The cable theory for dendritic neurons addresses to current-voltage relations in a continuous passive dendritic tree. it is briefly summarized that the cable theory related to passive cables and dendrites, which is a useful approximation and an important reference for excitable cases. The proposed software can be used to construct user-defined dendritic tree model. The user can define the model in detail, display the constructed dendritic tree, and examine the basic electrical properties of the dendritic tree using transfer impedance approach. The software addresses to ones who want to run simple simulations of the cable theory without need to any programming language skills or expensive software. it can also be used for educational purposes.
