" ... 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 Cortical M current
: FORREST MD (2014) Two Compartment Model of the Cerebellar Purkinje Neuron
:
:   M-current, responsible for the adaptation of firing rate and the 
:   afterhyperpolarization (AHP) of cortical pyramidal cells
:
:   First-order model described by hodgkin-Hyxley like equations.
:   K+ current, activated by depolarization, noninactivating.
:
:   Model taken from Yamada, W.M., Koch, C. and Adams, P.R.  Multiple 
:   channels and calcium dynamics.  In: Methods in Neuronal Modeling, 
:   edited by C. Koch and I. Segev, MIT press, 1989, p 97-134.
