Open RunExamples.m and choose the options and duration of the simulation. run RunExamples.m save the output of RunExamples in a .mat file Open PlotExample.m and rename the .mat file with the name you used to save the output. run PlotExample.m You should see 3 figures: example of the voltage traces, a rastergram with current input and LFPs (wide-band and filtered) and a histogram of firing time binned in 5ms bins compared to the LFP trace. use defaultparamsCA1.m to change the intrinsic properties of cells and synapses. use CountRipples.m to change the criteria to find a ripple start and end (if you want to use a different threshold and see what happens) Note that CA1 will not receive non-zero current input in times earlier than 1s. This is to let the first secod of simulation relax to a network state before incoming CA3 input induces ripples. Hence, set starts to be always bigger than 1.
