Temporal evolution of the dendritic pattern of transmembrane voltages generated by the simulated Purkinje neuron during one cycle of the oscillatory activity shown in Figures 5 and 6.

Bottom window: time course of the transmembrane voltage recorded at the soma (abscissa: time, ms; ordinate: voltage, mV).

Top left window: dendritic path profiles of the transmembrane voltages (abscissa: path distance from the soma, m; ordinates: voltage, mV). The voltages are computed along each dendritic path from the soma to the distal tips and superimposed.

Top right window: evolution of the spatial pattern of the transmembrane voltage. The voltage is color-coded with the six-color palette shown in the insert (for each color the upper limit voltage, in mV, is given in the corresponding box of the palette) and mapped on the reconstructed dendritic arborization of the Purkinje neuron with attached artificial soma and axon.

Note the temporal sequence of depolarization and repolarization of the dendritic sectors (P1 in Figure 4) that corresponds to ranking of the sectors by their low (L), medium (M), and high (H) relative effectiveness in the passive transfer of the somatopetal current (Figure 3).
