Granule cell program files for the paper: Synaptic integration in a model of cerebellar granule cells. Gabbiani F, Midtgaard J, Knopfel T. Institut fur Theoretische Physik, ETH-Honggerberg, Zurich, Switzerland. J Neurophysiol 1994 Aug;72(2):999-1009 Excerpt from abstract: 1. We have developed a compartmental model of a turtle cerebellar granule cell consisting of 13 compartments that represent the soma and 4 dendrites. We used this model to investigate the synaptic integration of mossy fiber inputs in granule cells. 2. The somatic compartment contained six active ionic conductances: a sodium conductance with fast activation and inactivation kinetics, gNa; a high-voltage-activated calcium conductance, gCa(HVA); a delayed potassium conductance, gK(DR); a transient potassium conductance, gK(A); a slowly relaxing mixed Na+/K+ conductance activating at hyperpolarized membrane potentials, gH, and a calcium- and voltage-dependent potassium conductance, gK(Ca). The kinetics of these conductances was derived from electrophysiological studies in a variety of preparations, including turtle and rat granule cells. 3. In the soma, dynamics of intracellular free Ca2+ was modeled by incorporation of a Na+/Ca2+ exchanger, radial diffusion, and binding sites for Ca2+. 4. The model of the turtle granule cell exhibited depolarization-induced action potential firing with properties closely resembling those seen with intracellular recordings in turtle granule cells in vitro. ... please see the paper for 5 more summary paragraphs.
