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

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:

Description of files:
run-BC6.hoc runs simulation using BC6, reproducing
Fig.2B,C of the paper. Needs nrngui.hoc
morph-BC6.hoc contains the morphology of BC6
specify-BC6.hoc specifies segmentation and section
lists. Needs NsegOut-BC6.txt
pipettes.hoc specifies pipettes used in the simulation
Graphs-BC6.hoc specifies the plots used in the simulation
PointProc-BC6.hoc implements point processes in the simulation
ImportData-BC6.hoc imports experimental traces:
ExpTrace-DendLong.txt dendritic voltage trace for BC6 to long
current injection
ExpTrace-DendShort.txt dendritic voltage trace for BC6 to short
current injection
ExpTrace-SomaLong.txt somatic voltage trace for BC6 to long current
injection
ExpTrace-SomaShort.txt somatic voltage trace for BC6 to short current
injection
InpTrace-SomaLong.txt somatic long injection current
InpTrace-SomaShort.txt somatic short injection current
