Accession:53965
Computer simulations predict that seven of the SNPs would increase firing of neurons, with three of them inducing oscillations at similar frequencises. 3 representative models from the paper have been submited: a wild-type (WT) recombinant Cav3.2 T-channel, and two of the mutants described in the Vitko et al., 2005 paper (C456S and R788C). See the paper for more and details.

  Procedure for localizing T-current in distal dendrites

	- Reconstructed thalamic RE cell with 80 compartments (re80)
	- currents must be localized everywhere

	first parameter: somatic and proximal dendritic conductance
	secnd parameter: medial dendritic conductance
	third parameter: distal dendritic conductance
