traub95 - hippocampal interneuron

This is a version of Traub's 51-compartment hippocampal interneuron, contributed by Eliot Menschik. This, and the traub94 model pyramidal cell were used in the papers:

Menschik, E. D. and Finkel, L. H. (1998) Neuromodulatory control of hippocampal function: Towards a model of Alzheimer's disease. Artificial Intelligence in Medicine 13:99-121.

Menschik, E.D. and Finkel, L.H. (1999) Cholinergic neuromodulation and Alzheimer's disease: from single cells to network simulations. Progress in Brain Research, 121:19-45.

The 1998 paper is contained in the file menschik_finkel_1998.pdf.

The files are:

traub95.p - the cell parameter file

protodefs_traub95.g - file containing the channel definitions

traub95cell.g - the main simulation script - illustrates the use of the cell parameter file and channel definitions with hsolve chanmode 1 and a simple graphical interface.

Note that this cell, like the Traub94 cell still suffers from the fact that the K_C current depends on using the vdep_object which is not supported by hsolve in other than chanmodes 0 and 1. Ideally, the implementation of this current should be modified to use the GENESIS 2.2 tabchannel "instant" field as was done in genesis/Scripts/traub91/traub91proto.g.

If you carry out this relatively simple modification (which will speed up the simulation), please contribute it to BABEL.
