% This code implements a optostimulation protocols in a
% Wang-Buszaki (WB) neuron model when the 3-state model is employed to
% account for ChR2 kinetics; the protocol is a train of ns = 60 number of
% stimuli, each of with ws = 2ms, presented at a frequency f = 20Hz;
%
% A set of previously determined parameters for ChRwt and ChETA are
% provided in comment text which must be appropriately uncomment when the
% code is run for the chosen variant;
%
% Other parameter which may take different values (depending on the addressed issue)
% are indicated in comments;

% Last update of the code: RAS 09/10/2012.
