From: An asymptotic approximation to the cable equation for arbitrary diameter taper

Figure 1

Asymptotic approximations reveal fundamental properties of voltage flow in tapering dendrites. A Comparison of numerical (blue) and first-order asymptotic (black dashed) methods for determining the steady-state voltage in a quadratically tapering dendritic cable for currents injected at three different sites. B Comparison of numerically-optimised tapering profiles (blue) with those predicted by the asymptotic approximation (black dashed) for dendrites of different electrotonic length.
