Models for oscillations in visual thalamocortical pathway

Parameters in this model

Size of the network, input, connectivity and simulation parameters included in s_tests.py

Synapse parameters:

In cells.py there are these (and others)

synE = h.Exp2Syn(0.5, sec=self.soma)
self.synE.e = 0
synE.tau1 = 1
synE.tau2 = 3
synE_CT = h.Exp2Syn(0.5, sec=self.soma)
self.synE_CT.e = 0
synE_CT.tau1 = 5               #  this was made to be slower than the synE - but artificial values were used because the synE time constants couldn't get smaller than 1
synE_CT.tau2 = 15              #  TODO check this with Li, Guido and Bickford 2003
synI = h.Exp2Syn(0.5, sec=self.soma)
synI.e = -100
synI.tau1 = 4
synI.tau2 = 2

Hodgkin & Huxley parameters

Look at hh_original.mod

Building NEURON mechanisms and running the simulation

Run $nrnivmodl hh_original.mod netstim_pois.mod to build these NEURON mechanisms.

Afterwards, to run an example simulation, run $nrngui -python s_tests.py
