"... We use a conductance-based model of a CN neuron to study the effect of the regularity of Purkinje cell spiking on CN neuron activity. We find that increasing the irregularity of Purkinje cell activity accelerates the CN neuron spike rate and that the mechanism of this recoding of input irregularity as output spike rate depends on the number of Purkinje cells converging onto a CN neuron. ..."

COMMENT
    This mech is based on the "built-in" pas channel from NEURON 6.1.
    Johannes Luthman has taken it to be used for the DCN neuron model
    and made the following modifications: 
    - g has been renamed gbar in accordance with the other DCN channels
    - e has been changed from -70 to -66 mV
    
ENDCOMMENT 

TITLE passive membrane channel

NEURON {
	SUFFIX pasDCN
	NONSPECIFIC_CURRENT i
	RANGE gbar, e, i
}

UNITS {
	(mV) = (millivolt)
	(mA) = (milliamp)
	(S) = (siemens)
}

PARAMETER {
	gbar = .001	(S/cm2)	<0,1e9>
	e = -66	(mV) : the reversal potential can be given as a PARAMETER rather
	    : than being ASSIGNed from hoc as for CaLVA and other channels using
	    : self-defined reversal potential names ("e" is recognized by hoc, but not "ecal" etc)
}

ASSIGNED {
    v (mV)  
    i (mA/cm2)
}

BREAKPOINT {
	i = gbar * (v - e)
}
