	demo file for first order kinetic synapse mechanism
	---------------------------------------------------

	This file provides a simulation of GABAergic IPSP's in a passive
	compartment.  A presyaptic compartment (PRE) is created and 
	contains Hodgkin-Huxley Na/K currents for generating action potentials.
	A current pulse is injected in PRE to elicit a train of spikes.
	For each spike an IPSP is generated in the postsynaptic compartment
	(POST).  The number of presynaptic spikes can be adjusted by changing
        the pulse duration (stim.dur).

	Whole-cell recorded GABA-B postsynaptic currents (Otis et al,
        J. Physiol. 463: 391-407, 1993) were used to estimate the parameters
	of the present simulations; the fit was performed using a simplex
	algorithm (see Destexhe et al., J. Neurophysiol. 72: 803-818, 1994).
