% classGranule includes all proprieties and methods specific for granule
% cells. This class is used to create other spiking neurons, like
% FeedForward cells and Feedback cells in the cortical model.

properties
% from Mitral cells
AMPAFf % struct with parameters from the excitatory synapses
ConnAMPAFf = 0.4; % percentage of mitral cells connected to each
% granule
MAMPAFf % connection matrix with the mitral cells
WAMPAFf % synaptic weight matrix with the mitral cells
% from other Granule cells
GABAFb % struct with parameters from the inhibitory synapses
ConnGABAFb = 0.08; % percentage of granule cells connected to each
% granule
MGABAFb % connection matrix with other granule cells
WGABAFb % synaptic weight matrix with other granule cells
% NE receptors parameters
Tminne = [0e-3,0e-3]; % effects of NE modulation in the resting
% potential, represents the range THETA min in eq. The order here
% is [Mod OFF, Mod ON];
Kne = 3; % ligand concentration producing half occupation (Hill eq.)
% See the funtcion CalculateAffinity.m
% for details.
Cmaxne = 10; % concentration range of the ligant (Hill eq.). See the
% funtcion CalculateAffinity.m for details.
bne = 1; % non-linearity of the modulation See the funtcion
% CalculateAffinity.m for details.
