Thalamocortical and Thalamic Reticular Network (Destexhe et al 1996)

NEURON model of oscillations in networks of thalamocortical and thalamic reticular neurons in the ferret. (more applications for a model quantitatively identical to previous DLGN model; updated for NEURON v4 and above)

Region(s) or Organism(s): Thalamus

Cell Type(s): Thalamus geniculate nucleus/lateral principal GLU cell; Thalamus reticular nucleus GABA cell

Currents: I Na,t; I T low threshold; I K,leak; I h

Receptors: GabaA; GabaB; AMPA

Model Concept(s): Activity Patterns; Oscillations; Synchronization; Spatio-temporal Activity Patterns; Sleep; Calcium dynamics; Spindles

Simulation Environment: NEURON

Implementer(s): Destexhe, Alain [Destexhe at iaf.cnrs-gif.fr]
