Neurons receive thousands of synaptic inputs onto their dendrites and soma, and spatially and temporally integrate these inputs to produce appropriate output in the form of action potentials generated in axons. The morphology of dendrites can influence the integration of synaptic input, as well as affect the pattern of action potentials. Using computer simulations of three different model neuron subtypes with different dendritic dimension of the same branching pattern identical to the authentic cortical interneuron in the rat frontal cortex: Martinotti cell, fast spiking basket cell, double bouquet cell, and large-basket cell, we found the functional significance of Rall’s power of three halves law at the dendritic bifurcation point. It may facilitate even distribution of somatic depolarization into all compartments of the dendritic tree, and it may contribute equal signal conduction from soma to all dendritic branches.
