These model files were for the paper: Yu Y.G., Shu Y., Duque A., Haider B., and McCormick D.A. Cortical Action Potential Back-propagation Explains Spike Threshold Variability and Rapid-Onset Kinetics. Journal of Neuroscience, 28: 7260-7272, (2008). and also McCormick D.A., Shu Y., and Yu Y.G. Neurophysiology: Hodgkin and Huxley model - still standing? Nature. 445: E1-E2, (2007). This simple axon-soma model explained how the rapid rising phase in somatic spike is derived from propagated axon initiated spike. Creates a single cell containing a dendrite, soma, an axon with 60 micrometer and a axon bleb to investigate generation of spike kink at soma. As observed in experiment, spikes are usually initiated at the axon site 40~70 micrometer away from soma. There is a rapid rising phase in somatic spike, due to the initial segment traveling spike. After running the code, there is an output data file called 'neuron_soma.dat' Use the matlab code for_plot_spike.m to plot the somatic spike and axon spike. These files were contributed by Yuguo Yu Yale University yuguo.yu@yale.edu 20111026 updated release.mod to derivimplicit method. See file for more info. 20120409 updated cad.mod capump.mod to derivimplicit method which should have been changed with above 20111026 update. See http://www.neuron.yale.edu/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=592 20120515 Ted Carnevale supplied these updates which are THREADSAFE, slightly cleaner code, and handle singularities correctly (ca.mod, km.mod, and kv.mod didn't).
