Equalization of charge transfer in a model of a reconstructed HSS cell of the fly visual system. (A) Current transfer from all dendritic locations to the dendritic root. (B) Local input conductance (inverse of input resistance, 1/R IN (x)). (C) Ratio of voltage at the dendritic root and the voltage generated at the dendrite locations, where the input current is applied. (D) Voltage ratios plotted against the inverse of the local input resistances follow a linear relationship expressing the proportionality suggested by equation (1). Colour scale in A-C ranges from 0 (blue), to maximal (red) current transfer (A), input conductance (B) and voltage ratio (C). Reference point for dendritic root is indicated by an arrow in A.
