next Tuesday class starts at 10am

Dear all,

As I have mentioned in the previous class, I have to cancel today's lecture due to a government appointment inconveniently scheduled during the class time.

Next Tuesday, we will start the lecture at 10am to catch up some material.

I uploaded a review on the history of spike-timing dependent plasticity by Markam et al 2011. I expect you guys will read the review before the next lecture. It covers a lot of the theoretical consideration and historical progress in the field of synaptic plasticity.

There will be quite a bit of data blitz for the next lecture. I will bring in printouts of the slides for you to take notes on.

Cheers,

Weifeng

PsetII question 2

question b, refer to Chapter 4.5.1.3
question c, consider this is a finite cable, To calculate ri, you need  equation 4.5.49 (which establish the relationship between Gden and ri). The rest of the calculation, is basically based upon the relationship between lambda, ri, rm, Rm, radius of the soma etc.
question d, equation 4.5.53.
