" ... To study the mechanisms underlying SCS (Spinal cord stimulation), we constructed a biophysically-based network model of the dorsal horn circuit consisting of interconnected dorsal horn interneurons and a wide dynamic range (WDR) projection neuron and representations of both local and surround receptive field inhibition. We validated the network model by reproducing cellular and network responses relevant to pain processing including wind-up, A-fiber mediated inhibition, and surround receptive field inhibition. ..."

: modified by Steven Prescott based on current described below
: Prescott and De Koninck. 2005. J Neurosci 25: 4743-4754
: sodium current active a subthreshold potentials, works synergistically
: with persistent calcium current to prolong subthreshold depolarization
:
: original current described below...
: Fast Na+ and K+ currents responsible for action potentials
