This code contains conductance-based models of Dopaminergic (DA) and GABAergic neurons, used in Morozova et al 2016 PLOS Computational Biology paper in order to study the type of excitability of the DA neurons and how it is influenced by the intrinsic and synaptic currents. We identified the type of excitability by calculating bifurcation diagrams and F-I curves using XPP file. This model was also used in Morozova et al 2016 J. Neurophysiology paper in order to study the effect of synchronization in GABAergic inputs on the firing dynamics of the DA neuron.
