| CA1 pyramidal neuron: as a 2-layer NN and subthreshold synaptic summation (Poirazi et al 2003) | |
| We developed a CA1 pyramidal cell model calibrated with a broad spectrum of in vitro data. Using simultaneous dendritic and somatic recordings, and combining results for two different response measures (peak vs. mean EPSP), two different stimulus formats (single shock vs. 50 Hz trains), and two different spatial integration conditions (within vs. between-branch summation), we found the cell's subthreshold responses to paired inputs are best described as a sum of nonlinear subunit responses, where the subunits correspond to different dendritic branches. In addition to suggesting a new type of experiment and providing testable predictions, our model shows how conclusions regarding synaptic arithmetic can be influenced by an array of seemingly innocuous experimental design choices. | |
| Duration-tuned neurons from the inferior colliculus of the big brown bat (Aubie et al. 2009) | |
| dtnet is a generalized neural network simulator written in C++ with an easy to use XML description language to generate arbitrary neural networks and then run simulations covering many different parameter values. For example, you can specify ranges of parameter values for several different connection weights and then automatically run simulations over all possible parameters. Graphing ability is built in as long as the free, open-source, graphing application GLE (http://glx.sourceforge.net/) is installed. Included in the examples folder are simulation descriptions that were used to generate the results in Aubie et al. (2009). Refer to the README file for instructions on compiling and running these examples. The most recent source code can be obtained from GitHub: https://github.com/baubie/dtnet | |
| Dynamical model of olfactory bulb mitral cell (Rubin, Cleland 2006) | |
| This four-compartment mitral cell exhibits endogenous subthreshold oscillations, phase resetting, and evoked spike phasing properties as described in electrophysiological studies of mitral cells. It is derived from the prior work of Davison et al (2000) and Bhalla and Bower (1993). See readme.txt for details. | |
| Effect of slowly inactivating IKdr to delayed firing of action potentials (Wu et al. 2008) | |
| "The properties of slowly inactivating delayed-rectifier K+ current (IKdr) were investigated in NG108-15 neuronal cells differentiated with long-term exposure to dibutyryl cyclic AMP. ... The computer model, in which state-dependent inactivation of IKdr was incorporated, was also implemented to predict the firing behavior present in NG108-15 cells. ... Our theoretical work and the experimental results led us to propose a pivotal role of slowly inactivating IKdr in delayed firing of APs in NG108-15 cells. The results also suggest that aconitine modulation of IKdr gating is an important molecular mechanism through which it can contribute to neuronal firing." | |
| Effects of KIR current inactivation in NAc Medium Spiny Neurons (Steephen and Manchanda 2009) | |
| "Inward rectifying potassium (KIR) currents in medium spiny (MS) neurons of nucleus accumbens inactivate significantly in ~40% of the neurons but not in the rest, which may lead to differences in input processing by these two groups. Using a 189-compartment computational model of the MS neuron, we investigate the influence of this property using injected current as well as spatiotemporally distributed synaptic inputs. Our study demonstrates that KIR current inactivation facilitates depolarization, firing frequency and firing onset in these neurons. ..." | |
| Fast-spiking cortical interneuron (Golomb et al. 2007) | |
| Cortical fast-spiking (FS) interneurons display highly variable electrophysiological properties. We hypothesize that this variability emerges naturally if one assumes a continuous distribution of properties in a small set of active channels. We construct a minimal, single-compartment conductance-based model of FS cells that includes transient Na+, delayed-rectifier K+, and slowly inactivating d-type K+ conductances. The model may display delay to firing. Stuttering (elliptic bursting) and subthreshold oscillations may be observed for small Na+ window current. | |
| High frequency oscillations induced in three gap-junction coupled neurons (Tseng et al. 2008) | |
| Here we showed experimentally that high frequency oscillations (up to 600 Hz) were easily induced in a purely gap-junction coupled network by simple two stimuli with very short interval. The root cause is that the second elicited spike suffered from slow propagation speed and failure to transmit through a low-conductance junction. Similiar results were also obtained in these simulation. | |
| Hippocampal basket cell gap junction network dynamics (Saraga et al. 2006) | |
| 2 cell network of hippocampal basket cells connected by gap junctions. Paper explores how distal gap junctions and active dendrites can tune network dynamics. | |
| Olfactory bulb network model of gamma oscillations (Bathellier et al. 2006; Lagier et al. 2007) | |
| This model implements a network of 100 mitral cells connected with asynchronous inhibitory "synapses" that is meant to reproduce the GABAergic transmission of ensembles of connected granule cells. For appropriate parameters of this special synapse the model generates gamma oscillations with properties very similar to what is observed in olfactory bulb slices (See Bathellier et al. 2006, Lagier et al. 2007). Mitral cells are modeled as single compartment neurons with a small number of different voltage gated channels. Parameters were tuned to reproduce the fast subthreshold oscillation of the membrane potential observed experimentally (see Desmaisons et al. 1999). | |
| Tonic neuron in spinal lamina I: prolongation of subthreshold depol. (Prescott and De Koninck 2005) | |
| Model demonstrates mechanism whereby two kinetically distinct inward currents act synergistically to prolong subthreshold depolarization. The important currents are a persistent Na current (with fast kinetics) and a persistent Ca current (with slower kinetics). Model also includes a slow K current and transient Ca current, in addition to standard HH currents. Model parameters are set to values used in Fig. 8A. Simulation shows prolonged depolarizations in response to two brief stimuli. | |
