This model implements a network of 100 mitral cells connected with asynchronous inhibitory "synapses" that is meant to reproduce the GABAergic transmission of ensembles of connected granule cells. For appropriate parameters of this special synapse the model generates gamma oscillations with properties very similar to what is observed in olfactory bulb slices (See Bathellier et al. 2006, Lagier et al. 2007). Mitral cells are modeled as single compartment neurons with a small number of different voltage gated channels. Parameters were tuned to reproduce the fast subthreshold oscillation of the membrane potential observed experimentally (see Desmaisons et al. 1999).

	An Injector is an ideal Current source, that is, one which provides
	a constant current regardless of the potential of the voltage sink
	to which it is attached.  Such a current source has an infinite
	internal resistance, i.e. zero conductance, and an infinite source
	potential, so that the current (E-V)G = EG-VG = EG for finite V.
	
	This is implemented by keeping G equal to 0, but letting EG return
	E (as if G=1) -- a bit of a double standard.  Additional methods
	SetI and GetI are implemented to allow this class to be used in
	a more technically correct manner.

	Requires:
		Current			-- base class
