" ... We hypothesized that currents are grouped into distinct modules that shape specific neuronal characteristics or signatures, such as resting potential, sub-threshold oscillations, and spiking waveforms, for several classes of neurons. For such a grouping to occur, the currents within one module should have minimal functional interference with currents belonging to other modules. This condition is satisfied if the gating functions of currents in the same module are grouped together on the voltage axis; in contrast, such functions are segregated along the voltage axis for currents belonging to different modules. We tested this hypothesis using four published example case models and found it to be valid for these classes of neurons. ..."

AFTER YOU COMPILE THE FILES (see below):

ORIGINAL
To run the original model of Hemond et al:
1- Click on mosinit.hoc.
2- In the little poped-up window (first one from right), click:
	* Fig.9B for the Burst Firing cell
	* Fig.9C for the Adapting cell
	* Fig.9E for the Weakly Adapting cell

SEGREGATED
To run the segregated model of Hemond et al:
1- Click on mosinit.hoc.
2- In the little poped-up window (first one from right), click:
	* Fig.9B for the Burst Firing cell
	* Fig.9C for the Adapting cell
	* Fig.9E for the Weakly Adapting cell
    
____________________________________________________________________________
TO COMPILE AND RUN THE MODEL IN THE FOLDERS 'ORIGINAL' OR 'SEGREGATED' DO THE FOLLOWING:

Under unix systems:
to compile the mod files use the command 
nrnivmodl 
and run the simulation hoc file with the command 
nrngui FILENAME.hoc

Under Windows systems:
to compile the mod files use the "mknrndll" command.
A double click on the simulation file
FILENAME.hoc 
will open the simulation window.

Under MAC OS X:
Drag and drop the FILE folder onto the mknrndll icon in the NEURON
application folder. When the mod files are finished compiling, double click on the simulation file FILENAME.hoc
