To better understand population phenomena in thalamocortical neuronal ensembles, we have constructed a preliminary network model with 3,560 multicompartment neurons (containing soma, branching dendrites, and a portion of axon). Types of neurons included superficial pyramids (with regular spiking [RS] and fast rhythmic bursting [FRB] firing behaviors); RS spiny stellates; fast spiking (FS) interneurons, with basket-type and axoaxonic types of connectivity, and located in superficial and deep cortical layers; low threshold spiking (LTS) interneurons, that contacted principal cell dendrites; deep pyramids, that could have RS or intrinsic bursting (IB) firing behaviors, and endowed either with non-tufted apical dendrites or with long tufted apical dendrites; thalamocortical relay (TCR) cells; and nucleus reticularis (nRT) cells. To the extent possible, both electrophysiology and synaptic connectivity were based on published data, although many arbitrary choices were necessary.

TITLE Potasium AHP (slower) type current for RD Traub, et al 2005

COMMENT
	Modified by Tom Morse to make slower than the slow suppyrFRB, suppyrRS AHP.
	Note the time constant at zero cai is 1 second here and 100ms in the slow AHP
	3/13/06
	Implemented by Maciej Lazarewicz 2003 (mlazarew@seas.upenn.edu)
