" ... we employ a novel reduction algorithm to produce a 2 compartment model of the cerebellar Purkinje neuron from a previously published, 1089 compartment model. It runs more than 400 times faster and retains the electrical behavior of the full model. So, it is more suitable for inclusion in large network models, where computational power is a limiting issue. We show the utility of this reduced model by demonstrating that it can replicate the full model’s response to alcohol, which can in turn reproduce experimental recordings from Purkinje neurons following alcohol application. ..."

TITLE gsquid.mod   squid potassium channel
: FORREST MD (2014) Two Compartment Model of the Cerebellar Purkinje Neuron
 
COMMENT
 This is the original Hodgkin-Huxley treatment for the set of sodium, 
  potassium, and leakage channels found in the squid giant axon membrane.
  ("A quantitative description of membrane current and its application 
  conduction and excitation in nerve" J.Physiol. (Lond.) 117:500-544 (1952).)
 Membrane voltage is in absolute mV and has been reversed in polarity
  from the original HH convention and shifted to reflect a resting potential
  of -65 mV.
 Initialize this mechanism to steady-state voltage by calling
  rates_gsquid(v) from HOC, then setting m_gsquid=minf_gsquid, etc.
 Remember to set celsius=6.3 (or whatever) in your HOC file.
 See hh1.hoc for an example of a simulation using this model.
