cable theory

Electrical cables have resistance and capacitance, which determine oscillation time and dissipation length. Partial differential equations (William Thompson) are similar to wire heat-conductance equations (Fourier). Dendrites, cell bodies, and axons are like cables and have capacitances and resistances in parallel and series {cable theory} (Wilfrid Rall). Fibers have resistance because cytoplasm and membrane are not good conductors. Fibers have capacitance because membrane phospholipid bilayer does not conduct but has charge polarization.
