This model was used to simulate glutamatergic, AMPA receptor mediated mEPSCs (miniature EPSCs, resulting from spontaneous vesicular transmitter release) at the calyx of Held synapse. It was used to assess the influence of temperature (physiological vs. subphysiological) on the amplitude and time course of mEPSCs. In the related paper, simulation results were directly compared to the experimental data, and it was concluded that an increase of temperature accelerates AMPA receptor kinetics.
