Three simple improvements are presented which, for a given accuracy, result in a 10- to 20-fold decrease in computation time for simulation of arbitrarily branched active cables with Hodgkin Huxley (HH) kinetics. The 1st improvement takes advantage of the essentially tridiagonal character of the matrix equation for each branch of a tree network and solves the equations as efficiently as for an unbranched cable. The 2nd improvement evaluates the HH membrane conductances at the midpoint of a time step, .DELTA.t, to maintain full 2nd order accuracy, 0(.DELTA.t2), with no increase in the number of computational steps. The 3rd improvement makes use of premultiplied HH rate function tables for very efficient 2nd order correct integration of HH membrane conductance.
