We are investigating how dopaminergic modulation of single channels can be combined to make the D1R possitive MSN more excitable. We also connect multiple channels to substrates of a dopamine induced subcellular cascade to highlight that the classical pathway is too slow to explain DA induced kinetics in the subsecond range (Howe and Dombeck, 2016. doi: 10.1038/nature18942)

Genesis implementation by De Schutter, adapted by Kai Du.

Revision by Evans (2012, 2013), K1 changed from 0.180 to 0.003 and K4
from 0.011 to 0.009, according to Berkefeld (2006), Xenopus oocytes.

NEURON implementation by Alexander Kozlov <akozlov@csc.kth.se>.
