= Cable theory
{wiki=Cable_theory}
Cable theory is a mathematical model used to describe the electrical properties of neuronal cells, specifically the way that electrical signals propagate along the length of an axon or dendrite. It provides a framework for understanding how neurons transmit electrical signals through their membranes, considering their cylindrical geometry and the physical properties of cellular components like membranes, cytoplasm, and the extracellular medium.
