%A Model of Feedforward, Global, and Lateral Inhibition in the Locust Visual System.
%This model examines the architecture and function of inhibitory mechanisms in the
%visual system of locusts, namely those involved in the processing of inputs to a
%key looming-sensitive neuron, the lobula giant movement detector (LGMD).

%% Code
% This code runs a simulated voltage clamp on the LGMD, subjected to
% single-facet stimuli with luminance change durations of 0 ms, 83 ms,
% 183 ms and 350 ms. Results are averaged across 10 trials. Generates and
% saves the necessary data to create Figure 4.
parFile = 'FFIModelParams_16_02_2021.mat'; % Access the parameters for the model
V_clamp = -0.065; % Set the clamp voltage
% Run the trials - see function comments for description of outputs.
[I_out,t_out,max_f,f_base,delay] = VoltageClampTrialFunction(V_clamp,parFile,10);
% Save the results
save('VoltageClampFigureData.mat','I_out','t_out','max_f','f_base','delay');
