The frequency-dependent neuronal length constant in transcranial magnetic stimulation

Background: The behavior of the dendritic or axonal membrane voltage due to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is often modeled with the one-dimensional cable equation. For the cable equation, a length constant is defined; it describes the axial decay of the membrane voltage in the case of cons...
