| Submyelin Potassium accumulation in Subthalamic neuron (STN) axons (Bellinger et al. 2008) |
| Accession: 121253 |
"To better understand the direct effects of DBS (Deep brain stimulation) on central neurons, a computational model of a myelinated axon has been constructed which includes the effects of K+ accumulation within the peri-axonal space.
Using best estimates of anatomic and electrogenic model parameters for in vivo STN axons, the model predicts a functional block along the axon due to K+ accumulation in the submyelin space.
...
These results suggest that therapeutic DBS of the STN likely results in a functional block for many STN axons, although a subset of STN axons may also be activated at the stimulating frequency.

Usage:
Simply auto-launch from ModelDB or download and extract the archive
then under:
mswin
-----
Compile the mod files with mknrndll. Double click the mosinit.hoc file
Linux
-----
Compile the mod files with nrnivmodl. Start by typing "nrngui mosinit.hoc"
MAC OS X
--------
Drag and drop the newly expanded folder onto the mknrndll icon. Drag
and drop the mosinit.hoc file within this folder onto the nrngui icon.
Once the simulation is started
------------------------------
Select either the long run (1 3/4 hours on a 2.8GHz Pentium 4) or the
short run by pressing the appropriate button. The long run should
