In this reduced model a dendritic tree was collapsed into a single cylinder.
Rall realized however that dendrites were not likely to function as purely passive cables so he also applied the cable equation to numerical simulations in order to facilitate simulation.
In its analytical form the cable equation can only be applied to passive dendrites with current sources i e no synaptic or voltage gated conductances.
