ModelDB: State and location dependence of action potential metabolic cost (Hallermann et al., 2012)

State and location dependence of action potential metabolic cost (Hallermann et al., 2012)

Accession: 144526

With this model of a layer 5 pyramidal neuron the state and location dependence of the ATP usage and the metabolic efficiency of action potentials can be analyzed. Model parameters were constrained by direct subcellular recordings at dendritic, somatic and axonal compartments.

When the folder is compiled using the mknrndll script the simulation
can be started with "mosinit.hoc".

The newly developed model of the axonal K+ currents (Kv1_axonal.mod)
was based on step evoked K+ currents including activation,
deactivation and inactivation protocols as well as steady state
curves. To describe the activation, eight Hodgkin-Huxley gates were
used (n^8). To describe the biphasic inactivation and recovery from
inactivation, two populations of channels with different
Hodgkin-Huxley inactivation gates were used (n^8*h1^+n^8*h2).

To analyze the AP efficiency and the ATP usage on a subcellular level,
the Na+/K+ charge overlap, the excess Na+ influx and the ATP usage
were calculated as RANGE variables (charge.mod).

Executing "ch()" in the terminal shell (see charge.hoc) will print
average ATP usage per cellular compartment as shown below (some of the
information is exported into text files).
