This code enables the user to explore the results presented in FIG. 2(b) by running individual simulations.
(One can think in terms of (vLS, AC) coordinates, and vary the Temperature.)
To use it: (this example is FIG. 2(a))
-Choose a damage setting (vLS, AC), and run a simulation at the reference temperature (20.0 degreesC):
(Bursting)
data0 = runCLST(AC=1.0, vLS=3.0, Tcelsius=20.0, duration=300.0, OpenTheFigures=True)
-Observe what happens at different temperatures, for the same damage:
(quiescent)
data1 = runCLST(AC=1.0, vLS=3.0, Tcelsius=14.5, duration=300.0, OpenTheFigures=True)
(tonic firing)
data2 = runCLST(AC=1.0, vLS=3.0, Tcelsius=25.0, duration=300.0, OpenTheFigures=True)
As temperature increases, the system moves from quiescent, to bursting, to tonic firing.
Of course, damage can be varied as well as the Q-ten's (qPump, qNa, qK, qGate):
runCLST(AC=1.0, vLS=2.0, Tcelsius=20.0, qPump=1.9, qNa=1.4, qK=1.1, qGate=3.0, duration=300.0, OpenTheFigures=False)
Note: duration is [seconds] rather than the default [ms].
