Abstract
We present a mathematical/computer model of a Purkinje cell. The model is a binary dendritic tree of Rall compartments connected to trunk, soma and then Hodgkin-Huxley axon. We perform studies of the model for different parameters, especially those provided by Shelton, and Pellionisz and Linas.
