This model is an updated version of Romain Brette's adaptation of Rothman & Manis (2003). The model now uses Brian 2 instead of Brian 1 and can be configured to use n cells instead of a single cell. The included figure shows that Brian 2 is more efficient than Brian 1 once the number of cells exceeds 1,000.
Model Type: Neuron or other electrically excitable cell
Cell Type(s): Cochlear nucleus bushy GLU cell; CN stellate cell
