Re: Membrane capacitance estimation
Thank you for the elucidation and for the hints Ted. I adjusted the code, so that the units are respected in my case. I obtain an area in um^2 and I have a specific membrane capacitance in uF/cm^2. Thus, I converted um^2 in cm^2 and I obtained a membrane capacitance in the units of uF, which finally...

Re: Membrane capacitance estimation
Reading the paper at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2775376/ , it seems that the voltage-clamp protocol underestimates the retrieved value of membrane capacitance Cm. This is valid experimentally, but I believe that the same could happen in silico. Is there a function in NEURON that te...

Membrane capacitance estimation
Hi everyone! I have 8 months experience with NEURON and some question are starting to arise in my mind. In particular, I am trying to calculate the membrane capacitance Cm of a multi-compartment conductance-based neuron model. I calculate the membrane capacitance developing a voltage clamp protocol ...
