Distance-dependent inhibition in the hippocampus (Strüber et al. 2017)

Help downloading and running models
Accession:229750
Network model of a hippocampal circuit including interneurons and principal cells. Amplitude and decay time course of inhibitory synapses can be systematically changed for different distances between connected cells. Various forms of excitatory drives can be administered to the network including spatially structured input.
