% This code can implement different optostimulation protocols in a
% Wang-Buszaki (WB) neuron model when the 4-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;
%
% The significance of other parameters is indicated in comments;
%
% This code has been used to generate Figure 6 panel A and B in the manuscript;
% Last update of the code: RAS 09/10/2012.
