Synaptic transmission at the calyx of Held (Graham et al 2001)

This model allows the user to investigate faciliation and depression in a complex Monte Carlo model of the calyx of Held, a giant synapse in the mammalian auditory system (Graham et al, 2001)

Receptors: Glutamate

Transmitters: Glutamate

Model Concept(s): Facilitation; Depression; Vestibular

Simulation Environment: NEURON

Implementer(s): Graham, Bruce [B.Graham at cs.stir.ac.uk]
