Biological Basis of the Code

The provided code models the hyperpolarization-activated cation current (I_h) channel based on the work of Magee in 1998, specifically catering to distal dendrites of neurons. This type of channel is also commonly referred to as the HCN (hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated) channel. These channels are integral in influencing the electrical properties of neurons and play a vital role in neuronal excitability and rhythmic activity.

Key Biological Aspects

By incorporating these aspects, the model provides a way to simulate the behavior of I_h channels in neuronal distal dendrites and study their influence on neuronal electrophysiological properties.
