" ... We developed a biophysical network model comprising of the closed loop cortical-basal ganglia-thalamus circuit representing the healthy and parkinsonian rat brain. The network properties of the model were validated by comparing responses evoked in basal ganglia (BG) nuclei by cortical (CTX) stimulation to published experimental results. A key emergent property of the model was generation of low-frequency network oscillations. Consistent with their putative pathological role, low-frequency oscillations in model BG neurons were exaggerated in the parkinsonian state compared to the healthy condition. ..."

This model was contributed by K. Kumaravelu.

The model was run on the Duke Shared Cluster Resource with the
supplied q file.

20161212 Karthik Kumaravelu supplied a minor typo update where some
multiplicative forms (t_vec-t_d_...) were removed from bi-exponential
synaptic functions.
