From: Brain-wide dendrites in a near-optimal performance of dynamic range and information transmission
(a) The response curve F(h) for a single-branch symmetric dendrite with 256 nodes. F(h) exhibits a single sigmoid shape, and the (revised resp.) dynamic range is calculated as \(\Delta =38.6\) (and \(\Delta ^{*}=38.1\) resp.). (b) The response curve F(h) for a symmetric dendrite with 16 branches. The corresponding response curve F(h) exhibits double sigmoid shape and the (revised resp.) dynamic range is calculated as \(\Delta =28.6\) (and \(\Delta ^{*}=39.3\) resp.). Parameter \(P_{\lambda }=1\) is used in both panels.
