A pylab version from Alan Leggitt for simulating different channel noise models using the Hodgkin-Huxley equations. Methods provided and reviewed in Goldwyn and Shea-Brown (2011) are: current noise, subunit noise, conductance noise, and Markov chain, as well as the standard deterministic Hodgkin-Huxley model.
Model Type: Neuron or other electrically excitable cell
Cell Type(s): Hodgkin-Huxley neuron
Model Concept(s): Action Potential Initiation; Ion Channel Kinetics; Action Potentials; Markov-type model
Simulation Environment: Python
Implementer(s): Leggitt, Alan [alan.leggitt at ucsf.edu]
