We address the issue of how electrical signals propagate in Drosophila neurons by modeling the electrotonic structure of the antennal lobe projection neurons innervating glomerulus DM1. The readme file contains instructions for running the model.
Model Type: Neuron or other electrically excitable cell
Region(s) or Organism(s): Drosophila
Cell Type(s): Drosophila antennal lobe DM1 projection neuron
Model Concept(s): Invertebrate; Electrotonus
Simulation Environment: NEURON
Implementer(s): Gouwens, Nathan W [nathan_gouwens at hms.harvard.edu]
