Axonal gap junctions produce fast oscillations in cerebellar Purkinje cells (Traub et al. 2008)

Accession: 114654

Examines how electrical coupling between proximal axons produces fast oscillations in cerebellar Purkinje cells. Traub RD, Middleton SJ, Knopfel T, Whittington MA (2008) Model of very fast (>75 Hz) network oscillations generated by electrical coupling between the proximal axons of cerebellar Purkinje cells. European Journal of Neuroscience in press.

Help downloading and running models

purkinje17.f
Model of a cerebellar Purkinje cell.  This is an extension and refinement of
an earlier model by Miyasho et al., made more schematic in the architecture, 
and with the addition of an axon.

purkinje_bignet21.f
Model of a network of 1000 Purkinje cells, with gap junctions between proximal 
axons.  It runs on a Linux cluster with mpi, either on 40 or 50 processors.
