We introduce a model of ASIC1a homomeric (and heteromeric) ion channel inserted into a pre-existing model of wide dynamic range (WDR) neuron of the spinal cord together with a novel synaptic cleft acidification mechanism. This computational model shows a dual contribution of the ASIC1a channels to wind-up, a facilitation mechanism of WDR neurons, which has been verified experimentally: inhibiting or maximally activating ASICs reduce wind-up. The wind-up inhibition by activation of ASICs is likely mediated by calcium influx and calcium-activated potassium channels.
