This study investigates the role of feedforward and feedback inhibition in maintaining the balance between D1 and D2 MSNs of the striatum. The synchronized firing of FSIs are found to be critical in this mechanism and specifically the gap junction connections between FSIs.

/* Na Fast channel
 * This is a tab channel created from NaF channel data in Martina and Jonas 1997.
 * They are using hippocmpal pyramidal cells and are recording at 22-24 degrees C.
 * there is data from hamster striatal neurons that closely matches, but is slightly less complete (Sieb et al., 2002) 20-21 degrees.
 * Our data matching process showed that the original model from Johanes Hjorth via Kai Du and Tom Sheehan matched closely with the
 * activation and inactivation inf curves, but did not match the tau curves very well. This new tab channel uses Alphas and Betas obtained by
 * matching both the inf (cubed) and tau curves.  
 * Note that to distinguish these updated channels from the old, the file is now called NaF_chan.g (instead of NaF_channel.g) and the
 * function is called make_NaF_chan.
