Olfactory Mitral Cell (Bhalla, Bower 1993)

This is a conversion to NEURON of the mitral cell model described in Bhalla and Bower (1993). The original model was written in GENESIS and is available by joining BABEL, the GENESIS users' group here http://www.genesis-sim.org/GENESIS/babel.html

Model Type: Neuron or other electrically excitable cell

Cell Type(s): Olfactory bulb main mitral GLU cell

Currents: I Na,t; I L high threshold; I A; I K; I K,leak; I K,Ca; I Sodium; I Calcium; I Potassium

Model Concept(s): Activity Patterns; Parameter Fitting; Influence of Dendritic Geometry; Detailed Neuronal Models; Olfaction

Simulation Environment: NEURON

Implementer(s): Davison, Andrew [Andrew.Davison at iaf.cnrs-gif.fr]
