ABSTRACT

This essay looks at the historical significance of four APS classic papers that are freely available online:

RALL W.: Distinguishing theoretical synaptic potentials computed for different soma-dendritic distributions of synaptic input. J Neurophysiol 30: 1138–1168, 1967 (http://jn.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/30/5/1138).

RALL W, BURKE RE, SMITH TG, NELSON PG, AND FRANK K.: Dendritic location of synapses and possible mechanisms for the monosynaptic EPSP in motoneurons. J Neurophysiol 30: 1169–1193, 1967 (http://jn.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/30/5/1169).

RALL W AND SHEPHERD GM.: Theoretical reconstruction of field potentials and dendrodendritic synaptic interactions in olfactory bulb. J Neurophysiol 31: 884–915, 1968 (http://jn.physiology.org/cgi/reprint/31/6/884).
