Comments "[Researchers] selected this neuron model, which combines the active properties of a model cerebellar granule cell and the passive properties of a Golgi cell, because its firing rate increased linearly with the intensity of applied current over almost the entire dynamic range (from 15 Hz at the brisk 65 pA threshold to 1000 Hz, the maximum firing rate imposed by a 1 msec absolute refractory period. Mean slope, 0.65 Hz/pA for an input resistance of 162M?)."
