This collection of scripts are used to simulate IV curves from a layer 5 pyramidal cell from rat somatosensory (barrel) cortex as shown in Fig.11 of Dyhrfjeld-Johnsen J,Maier J,Schubert D,Staiger J,Luhmann HJ,Stephan KE, Kotter R.: CoCoDat: a database system for organizing and selecting quantitative data on single neurons and neuronal microcircuitry. J Neurosci Methods. 2005 Feb 15;141(2):291-308. The scripts involved are: * L5P_mainloop.g - The main simulation script that executes the setup of the model and runs through the series of current injections. *L5P_const.g - Constants and values used in the simulation. *DS1_141099_rot2_sc_defmesh.p - The reconstructed neuron morphology. *L5P_chans.g - Tabchannel definitions of ion-channels used in the simulation *L5P_comps.g - Protope compartments used for setting up the model. *DiffRm.g & Hgradient.g - Functions to set up differentially distributed values for Rm and H-current density. *L5P_input.g & ExpInjCur.g - Scripts to set up (and provide amplitudes for) current injection stimulation. *L5P_graph.g - Creates direct graphical output of membrane potential for entire morphology, somatic Vm, somatic conductances and somatic currents. Graphic output can be turned off by commenting out line 40 in the main simulation script. L5P_ascout.g - Script to write out somatic voltage traces to ASCII format. ASCII output can be turned off by commenting out line 41 in the main simulation script. *DS991014IVPotential.asc - The experimentally recorded IV curves for the modeled cell. *plotVmIBloop.m - MATLAB script to plot the simulated and experimentally recorded IV curves in the same graph for comparison.
