The model was used to reproduce experimentally determined mean synaptic response characteristics of unitary AMPA and NMDA synaptic stimulations in CA3 pyramidal cells with the objective of inferring the most likely response properties of the corresponding types of synapses. The model is primarily concerned with passive cells, but models of active dendrites are included.

// Demo.hoc - demonstrate interactive use of the passive cell model by
// showing plots similar to those found in figure 2a of the article by
// Baker et al. (2010) Journal of Computational Neuroscience (online first).

// There are some assumptions made here. synresp.hoc is assumed to have
// isInteractive=1, runStim=0, isCC=0, useAMPAR=1, and useNMDAR=0.
// We also assume that the current directory is set to the directory
// containing the model .HOC files, which should be true as long
// as the demo was launched from the same directory as the model.


// Load the file that defines the target cell.
// This automatically loads synresp.hoc.
// Normally isInteractive will be set in synresp.hoc,
// so it is an error if this did not occur.

// permit more of the trace to be plotted as in Figure 2a.
