Cell models

Individual cell models

Generic cortical pyramidal cell

Pyramidal cells review by Nelson Spruston

Minimal HH models - Pospischil et al. 2008 (single compartment, conductance based; Regular Spiking (RS) neurons & Intrinsically Bursting (IB) neurons)
Primary Auditory Cortex network is a network model of the thalamorecipient layer (IV) of primary auditory cortex (AI), and consists of 2 populations, pyramidal cells and basket cell interneurons.
Piriform Cortex Pyramidal Neuron

Layer 2/3 Pyramidal cell

Thalamocortical network - Traub et al. 2005 (Fast Regular Bursting & Regular Spiking)

Layer 4 Spiny Stellate cell

Thalamocortical network - Traub et al. 2005

Layer 5 Pyramidal cell

L5 Pyramidal Cell - Mainen et al. 1995:
L5 Pyramidal cell - Rothman et al. 2009
Thalamocortical network - Traub et al. 2005 (Intrinsically bursting & Regular Spiking)
Layer 5b Pyramidal cell - Hay et al. 2011

There is a *dedicated page on modelling L5 cells here.

Layer 6 Pyramidal cell

Thalamocortical network - Traub et al. 2005

Interneurons

Thalamocortical network - Traub et al. 2005 (Superficial & Deep Basket, Axo-axonic & LTS interneurons)
Primary Auditory Cortex network is a network model of the thalamorecipient layer (IV) of primary auditory cortex (AI), and consists of 2 populations, pyramidal cells and basket cell interneurons.
Minimal HH models - Pospischil et al. 2008 (Fast Spiking (FS) neurons)

Channel Properties

Morphology

Nomenclature

It is important to have a consistent naming in the models of the cells and channels. Although these are not currently adopted, they are advised. A standard naming helps in making models interchangeable and easily testable. There is no consensus yet on naming of individual compartments in a cell model. [Discuss]

Petilla terminology for nomenclature of features of GABAergic interneurons of the cerebral cortex.

Channelpedia For ion channel names.
