Gap junctions between striatal FS neurons has very weak ability to synchronise spiking. Input uncorrelated between neighbouring neurons is shunted, while correlated input is not.

% The purpose of this code is to inspect the sensitivity of the main
% results due to changes in channel conductance, and time constants.
%
% 1. How is the frequency changed?
% 2. How is the shunting changed?
% 3. How is the synchronisation changed?
%
% To check this we run a genesis script which allows us to modify the
% channel parameters. The model has four FS neurons, A1, A2, B1, B2.
%
% A1 and A2 are identical, but their channel parameters can be
% modified (both neurons always have the same set of parameters)
% B1 and B2 are identical. their channel parameters are at default values
% A1 and B1 are coupled by gap junctions, A2 and B2 are uncoupled.
% 
% Neuron number: A1 = #1, A2 = #2, B1 = #3, B2 = #4
