"We present an unsupervised, local activation-dependent learning rule for intrinsic plasticity (IP) which affects the composition of ion channel conductances for single neurons in a use-dependent way. We use a single-compartment conductance-based model for medium spiny striatal neurons in order to show the effects of parameterization of individual ion channels on the neuronal membrane potential-curent relationship (activation function). We show that parameter changes within the physiological ranges are sufficient to create an ensemble of neurons with significantly different activation functions. ... "

input_analysis:
	scripts to plot various types of inputs

interactive:
	This directory contains a number of scripts to initialize the sim,
	to generate inputs, produce plots and save the results.
	These scripts can be used in an interactive mode.
	Two examples of simple scripts are given:
		ex_001.m:   runs 5 variable neurons on generated input 
				and produces plots
		ex_izh_001.n:  runs 4 2D neurons

Directories with implementation code and utility functions
analysis:
	various routines to generate plots of simulation results

gui:
	draft of a gui for parameter exploration (not finished; used
	simulated synaptic input only and only 4 \mu parameters can be changed

input:
	utilities to generate different kinds of input signals
	(poisson-distributed EPSPs, IPSPs, single spikes, sin, DC, etc.)

neuron:
	contains definitions of the ion channels execution (simulation)
	mechanisms for one neuron or a vector of neurons

syn_response:
	contains main simulator functionality; run_sr4 called from various
	other directories
