To explore interactions between respiration, inhibition, and olfaction, experiments using light to active channel rhodopsin in sensory neurons expressing Olfactory Marker Protein were performed in mice and modeled in silico. This archive contains NEURON models that were run on parallel computers to explore the interactions between varying strengths of respiratory activity and olfactory sensory neuron input and the roles of periglomerular, granule, and external tufted cells in shaping mitral cell responses.

Timing considerations in ThetaStim

    outer loop:

outer_event
outer_on
outer_ispike

public variables:

outer_interval
outer_number
outer_start
outer_noise

    inner loop:

event
on
ispike

public variables:

interval
number
start
noise

General timing flow (assuming that the outer_number and number are >0):

First outer_start is used to initiate an outer_event
The outer_event initiates an event at “start” time later (start time now refers
to a delay from each outer_event
The events play out as in an ordinary netstim.  When done the next
outer_event is initiated.
