Objective. Retinal prostheses use electric current to activate inner retinal neurons, providing artificial vision for blind people. Epiretinal stimulation primarily targets retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which can be modeled with cable equations. Computational models provide a tool to investigate the mechanisms of retinal activation, and improve stimulation paradigms. However, documentation of RGC model structure and parameters is limited, and model implementation can influence model predictions. Approach. We created a functional guide for building a mammalian RGC multi-compartment cable model and applying extracellular stimuli. Next, we investigated how the neuron’s three-dimensional shape will influence model predictions. Finally, we tested several strategies to maximize computational efficiency. Main results. We conducted sensitivity analyses to examine how dendrite representation, axon trajectory, and axon diameter influence membrane dynamics and corresponding activation thresholds. We optimized the spatial and temporal discretization of our multi-compartment cable model. We also implemented several simplified threshold prediction theories based on activating function, but these did not match the prediction accuracy achieved by the cable equations. Significance. Through this work, we provide practical guidance for modeling the extracellular stimulation of RGCs to produce reliable and meaningful predictions. Robust computational models lay the groundwork for improving the performance of retinal prostheses.
