"A stylized, symmetric, compartmental model of a dopamine neuron in vivo shows how rate and pattern can be modulated either concurrently or differentially. If two or more parameters in the model are varied concurrently, the baseline firing rate and the extent of bursting become decorrelated, which provides an explanation for the lack of a tight correlation in vivo and is consistent with some independence of the mechanisms that generate baseline firing rates versus bursting. ..." See paper for more and details.

TITLE applied current

COMMENT
Since this is an electrode current, positive values of i depolarize
the cell and in the presence of the extracellular mechanism there will be a
change in vext since i is not a transmembrane current but a current injected
directly to the inside of the cell.
