The KaS channel does not completely * inactivate according to the Shen data and the model they have made to match their data. Johannes accounted for this by making two * KaS channels one that inactivated and one that didn't and adjusted their conductances accordingly. However, it will be faster to * have just one channel that partially inactivates. This new tab channel uses Alphas and Betas obtained by matching the model curves in Shen 2004 * figure 6. m is to the power of 2 in the previous code, I have not re-checked wolf yet to see if that's what it is there. * Note that to distinguish these updated channels from the old, the file is now called KaS_chan.g (instead of KaS_channel.g) and the * function is called make_KaS_chan. * *************** Rebekah Evans 02/15/10 rcolema2@gmu.edu ********************************/ /* AB: qfactor of 2 used instead of 3 in previous channel */ function make_KAs_channel //include tabchanforms //initial parameters for making tab channel float Erev = -0.09 int m_power = 2 int h_power = 1 //Activation constants for alphas and betas (obtained by matching Tkatch 2000) float mA_rate = 0.25 //units msec float mA_vhalf = 50 float mA_slope = -20 float mB_rate = 0.05 //units msec float mB_vhalf = -90 float mB_slope = 35 //Inactivation constants for alphas and betas float hA_rate = 2.5 //units sec float hA_vhalf = -95 float hA_slope = 16 float hB_rate = 2 //units sec float hB_vhalf = 50 float hB_slope = -70 //table filling parameters float xmin = -0.1 /* minimum voltage we will see in the simulation */ float xmax = 0.05 /* maximum voltage we will see in the simulation */ int xdivsFiner = 3000 /* the number of divisions between -0.1 and 0.05 */ int c = 0 float increment = 1000*{{xmax}-{xmin}}/{xdivsFiner} echo "kAs: inc="{increment}"mV" float x = -100 float m_alpha, m_beta, h_alpha, h_beta /* make the table for the activation with a range of -100mV - +50mV * with an entry for every 10mV */ str path = "KAs_channel" create tabchannel {path} call {path} TABCREATE X {xdivsFiner} {xmin} {xmax} call {path} TABCREATE Y {xdivsFiner} {xmin} {xmax} /*fills the tabchannel with values for minf, mtau, hinf and htau, *from the files. */ float qfactor=2 for (c = 0; c < {xdivsFiner} + 1; c = c + 1) float m_alpha = {sig_form {mA_rate} {mA_vhalf} {mA_slope} {x}} float m_beta = {sig_form {mB_rate} {mB_vhalf} {mB_slope} {x}} float h_alpha = {sig_form {hA_rate} {hA_vhalf} {hA_slope} {x}} float h_beta = {sig_form {hB_rate} {hB_vhalf} {hB_slope} {x}} float xa = {1/{{m_alpha}+{m_beta}}} float xb = {{m_alpha}/{{m_alpha}+{m_beta}}} float ya = {1/{{h_alpha}+{h_beta}}} float yb = {{{{h_alpha}/{{h_alpha}+{h_beta}}}*0.8}+0.2} //the *0.8+0.2 in yb is to make the channel partially inactivate. // Tables are filled with inf and taus in order to make this channel partially inactivate. setfield {path} X_A->table[{c}] {(xa*1e-3)/qfactor} setfield {path} X_B->table[{c}] {xb} setfield {path} Y_A->table[{c}] {ya/qfactor} setfield {path} Y_B->table[{c}] {yb} x = x + increment end /* Defines the powers of m and h in the Hodgkin-Huxley equation*/ setfield {path} Ek {Erev} Xpower {m_power} Ypower {h_power} tweaktau {path} X tweaktau {path} Y end
