Abstract.
We show that the first five moments of the soma potential and soma current uniquely and stably determine the soma conductance and capacitance and the dendritic electrotonic length, conductance, and capacitance in the so-called somatic shunt model of the passive behavior of a neuron. We test our resulting input admittance algorithm on synthetic data and demonstrate the regularizing effect of knowledge of the ratio of soma to dendrite surface areas.
