Abstract(in English) We elucidate an effect of backpropagating action potentials (BAP) s on neural interaction by the NEURON simulator. If the balance between sensitivities of the inward current channel and the outward current channel is satisfied, there is a singular point where the input impedance of the membrane diverges to ±∞. Such a singular stracture induces the following two discrete states depending on A-channel conductance. If A-channel conductance is lower than a critical value, the shunting inhibition of EPSPs by BAPs ocures in the dendrite. Near a critical value, the polarization of EPSPs is reversed. On the other hand, if A-channel conductance is higher than a critical value, BAPs and EPSPs has weak interaction in the dendrite. Near a critical value, EPSPs are amplified. It has been reported that some neuron modulators can control characteristics of the A-channel. This rises the possibility that some neuron modulators can switch between these two states of the neural interaction. Next, we observe phase response curves of a neuron in oscillatory states. This experiment includes previous experiments for shunting EPSPs, and thus the effect of the shunting of EPSPs on neural interaction can be elucidated.
