NEURON { POINT_PROCESS GABALOW } : GABA SYNAPSE (GABA-A receptors) : : Parameters estimated from whole cell recordings of GABA-A synaptic currents : from dentate granule cells: Otis TS and Mody I (1992) Modulation of decay : kinetics and frequency of GABA_A receptor-mediated spontaneous inhibitory : postsynaptic currents in hippocampal neurons. Neurosci. 49: 13-32. : : GABALOW was created to allow the use two types of GABA-A currents in the : same simulation. PARAMETER { Cmax = 1 (mM) : max transmitter concentration Cdur = 1.0 (ms) : transmitter duration (rising phase) Alpha = 0.53 (/ms mM) : forward (binding) rate Beta = 0.18 (/ms) : backward (unbinding) rate Erev = -80 (mV) : reversal potential Prethresh = 0 : voltage level nec for release Deadtime = 1 (ms) : mimimum time between release events gmax (umho) : maximum conductance } INCLUDE "synq.inc" :________________________________________________________________
