NEURON CODE FOR IMPLEMENTING SIMULATIONS OF CHOLINERGIC NEUROMODULATION IN OLFACTORY BULB Guoshi Li Computational Physiology Lab Department of Psychology Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853 A full description of the model may be found in: Li G and Cleland TA(2013) A two-layer biophysical model of cholinergic neuromodulation in olfactory bulb. Journal of Neuroscience 33:3037-3058. For questions, please email: gl275@cornell.edu The OB network model contains 25 mitral cells (MCs), 25 periglomerular cells (PGs) and 100 granule cell (GCs) The package contains five folders: "celldata" folder to store data from single cell simulations "data" folder to store data from network simulations "SP" folder to store the timing of random background spikes to MCs "Connection" folder to store the connectivity information between MCs and GCs "Input" folder contains two pre-generated data files read by the program to set the pre-odor and steady-state odor values For network simulation, run mosinit.hoc For MC single-cell simulation, run MC_Stim.hoc For GC single-cell simulation, run GC_Stim.hoc For PG single-cell simulation, run PG_Stim.hoc The simulation step is set to 0.001 ms for results presented in the Journal of Neuroscience Paper (Li and Cleland 2013) Simulation time of the full model is about 3.5 hours for one run in a workstation Small time step is used to ensure accuracy of results To reproduce identical results shown in the paper, make sure a time step of 0.001 ms is used Larger step could be used for testing purpose Some key parameters: NTCE = 0: Full model with EPL simulation NTCE = 1: Glomerular model without EPL (i.e., no granule cells) NICOTIN = 0: nAChRs inactive NICOTIN = 1: nAChRs activated MUSCARIN = 0: mAChRs inactive MUSCARIN = 1: mAChRs activated The default setting is the full model under the Control case (nAChRs and mAChRs inactive) The data saved in the "data" folder after simulation is analyzed using the following custom Matalb scripts PlotV.m: plot cell voltages PlotG.m: plot GABAa conductances Raster.m: generate raster plots of spikes LFP.m: frequency analysis of the sLFP Phase.m: generate phase distribution plot and raster plot of spike phases Changelog --------- 2022-05: Updated MOD files to compile with the latest neuron releases where ion variables used as STATE can not be declared as GLOBAL.
