<html><pre> This code includes detailed passive cable models of six dentate gyrus fast-spiking basket cells published in the paper: Norenberg A, Hu H, Vida I, Bartos M, Jonas P. (2010) Distinct nonuniform cable properties optimize rapid and efficient activation of fast-spiking GABAergic interneurons. PNAS 107(2):894-9. Please, send bug reports, questions and comments to Anja Matthia (nee Norenberg) anja.matthiae@charite.de or anja@matthiae.eu This model requires NEURON to be installed which is freely available from http://www.neuron.yale.edu. Usage: Auto-launch from ModelDB or download and extract the archive. There are no mod files to compile so double click on mosinit.hoc (mswin and mac) in the Figure_2 folder or cd to Figure_2 and type nrngui mosinit.hoc (linux) which starts run-BC6.hoc After a short pause you should see graphs which reproduce Fig. 2B, C: <img src="./screenshot.png" alt="screenshot"> Description of files: run-BC6.hoc runs simulation using BC6, reproducing Fig.2B,C of the paper.
