Multiple modes of a conditional neural oscillator (Epstein, Marder 1990)
Accession: 42321
We present a model for a conditional bursting neuron consisting of five conductances: Hodgkin-Huxley type time- and voltage-dependent Na+ and K+ conductances, a calcium activated voltage-dependent K+ conductance, a calcium-inhibited time- and voltage-dependent Ca++ conductance, and a leakage Cl- conductance. Different bursting and silent modes and transitions between them are analyzed in the model and compared to bursting modes in experiment. See the paper for details.

The goal of the present simulation is to implement 
a model published by Epstein & Marder (1990) and 
check the accuracy of SNNAP by comparing SNNAP-
generated results with previously published results.

This subdirectory contains a model originally published
by:

Epstein, I.R. and Marder, E. (1990)  Multiple modes of a 
conditional neural oscillator.  Biol. Cybern.  63: 25-34.

The present model corresponds to the "Model N" of 
Epstein and Marder (1990). The components of the
modeled bursting neuron are illustrated in
Epstein_neu.jpg.  The default simulation is
similar to Fig. 5 of Epstein and Marder (1990).

The results of the SNNAP simulation are illustrated in
Epstein.jpg.
