The length constant, often denoted as \(\lambda\) (lambda), is a key parameter in neuroscience and electrophysiology that describes how electrical signals decay as they propagate along a passive dendrite or axon. It is a measure of how far a signal can travel along a neuron's membrane before it attenuates significantly.
