This study investigates the role of feedforward and feedback inhibition in maintaining the balance between D1 and D2 MSNs of the striatum. The synchronized firing of FSIs are found to be critical in this mechanism and specifically the gap junction connections between FSIs.

*******************************************************************************
	proto.g contains one primary routine:  
		make_prototypes
 	and two local routines 
		make_cylind_compartment
		make_spines - this one needs much work
	these are used by the primary and are not intended for external calls
	The primary function, make_prototypes is called exactly once by MSsim.g
AB: removed CaNNOINACT_channel and CaL12NOINACT_channel by combining with inactivating channels
AB: deleted CaQ because no evidence for such in SP, and doesn't contribute much anyway
AB: no longer making naP in the library since it is not used, and has been moved to a different directory
