This MATLAB code is associated with the paper "Daily electrical activity in the master circadian clock of a diurnal mammal" by Beatriz Bano-Otalora, Matthew J Moye, Timothy Brown, Robert J Lucas, Casey O Diekman, Mino DC Belle. eLife 2021; 10:e68719 DOI: https://doi.org/10.7554/eLife.68179 It simulates a Hodgkin-Huxley-type model of the electrical activity of suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) neurons in the diurnal rodent Rhabdomys pumilio. Model parameters were inferred from current-clamp recordings using data assimilation (DA) algorithms available at https://github.com/mattmoye/neuroDA
