TITLE klt.mod The low threshold conductance of cochlear nucleus neurons
|
||
|
|
||
|
COMMENT
|
||
|
|
||
|
NEURON implementation of Jason Rothman's measurements of VCN conductances.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This file implements the low threshold potassium current found in several brainstem
|
||
|
nuclei of the auditory system, including the spherical and globular bushy cells
|
||
|
(Manis and Marx, 1991; Rothman and Manis, 2003a,b) and octopus cells (Bal and
|
||
|
Oertel, 2000) of the ventral cochlear nucleus, principal cells of the medial
|
||
|
nucleus of the trapzoid body (Brew and Forsythe, 1995, Wang and Kaczmarek,
|
||
|
1997) and neurons of the medial superior olive. The current is likely mediated by
|
||
|
heteromultimers of Kv1.1 and Kv1.2 potassium channel subunits. The specific
|
||
|
implementation is described in Rothman and Manis, J. Neurophysiol. 2003, in the
|
||
|
appendix. Measurements were made from isolated neurons from adult guinea pig,
|
||
|
under reasonably stringent voltage clamp conditions. The measured current is
|
||
|
sensitive to the mamba snake toxin dendrotoxin-I.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Similar conductrances are found in the homologous neurons of the avian auditory
|
||
|
system (Reyes and Rubel; Zhang and Trussell; Rathouz and Trussell), and the
|
||
|
conductance described here, in the absence of more detailed kinetic measurements
|
||
|
, is probably suitable for use in modeling that system.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Original implementation by Paul B. Manis, April (JHU) and Sept, (UNC)1999.
