Cerebellar purkinje cell: K and Ca channels regulate APs (Miyasho et al 2001)

Accession: 17664

We adopted De Schutter and Bower's model as the starting point, then modified the descriptions of several ion channels, such as the P-type Ca channel and the delayed rectifier K channel, and added class-E Ca channels and D-type K channels to the model. Our new model reproduces most of our experimental results and supports the conclusions of our experimental study that class-E Ca channels and D-type K channels are present and functioning in the dendrites of Purkinje neurons.

The mosinit.hoc file generates traces similar to figure 2 in the paper.
It takes about 5 minutes to generate this figure on a 800 MHz Win 2000 PC.

The model adopted De Schutter and Bower's model as the starting point, 
then modified the descriptions of several ion channels, such as the P-type 
Ca channel and the delayed rectifier K channel, and added class-E Ca 
channels and D-type K channels to the model. Our new model reproduces most
of our experimental results and supports the conclusions of our 
experimental study that class-E Ca channels and D-type K channels are 
present and functioning in the dendrites of Purkinje neurons.
