"... Starting from a reduced three-compartment model of a single pyramidal neuron, we derive an observation model for dendritic dipole currents in extracellular space and thereby for the dendritic field potential (DFP) that contributes to the local field potential (LFP) of a neural population. ... Our reduced three-compartment scheme allows to derive networks of leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) models, which facilitates comparison with existing neural network and observation models. ..."

A Biophysical observation model for field potentials of networks of
leaky-integrate-and-fire neurons.

*******************************
This python code, Gunft6.py, requires and runs under the Brian
simulator.

Note for developers:

Note 1 : As it stands, the code is not effiecient (fast) as it does
not use the facilties vector processing and uses a lot of for-loops
which is not efficient. So it can be improved.
Note 2: Periodic thalamic input is not yet implemented.

*****************************

1) This is a network of 5000 neurons, 80% of which excitatory, and 20%
   inhibitory.
2) The network is randomy connected (between pairs) with connection
   probability = 0.2.
3) Both Excitatory and Inhibitory neurons are described via LIF model.
4) The currents are double exponetial, but the excitatory currents can
   recieve external noise.
