</p><p>Holmes WR, Huwe JA, Williams B, Rowe MH, Peterson EH (2017) Models of
utricular bouton afferents: role of afferent-hair cell connectivity in
determining spike train regularity. J Neurophysiol 117:1969-1986

</p><p>A number of these files, including some of the more clever algorithms,
were adapted from work done by Jose Ambros-Ingerson for a different
project.  Morphology files for 4 vestibular bouton afferents,
reconstructed from turtle, are included.
</p><p>These scripts together with the simple GUI provided can be used
directly to reproduce voltage traces in Figs 3-5 and data points in
Figs 6-8 with only changing tstop, Poisson input rate and cell type.
Tstop = 1000 ms here which is sufficient to illustrate runs that
complete in a short amount of time.  For the paper it was necessary to
use tstop values of a few MINUTES in many cases in order to accumulate
a large enough number of spikes to allow cv to be computed accurately.
These simulations were run in batch mode and took days in some cases.

Usage:<br/>
------<br/>
Compile the mod files in the method appropriate for your platform
(nrnivmodl on linux/unix, mknrndll on mswin/mac os x) and then run one
of the following which generate the graphs shown by default. If you
need more help consult the web page: <a href="https://senselab.med.yale.edu/ModelDB/NEURON_DwnldGuide">https://senselab.med.yale.edu/ModelDB/NEURON_DwnldGuide</a>
<p/>
Once you start the program select Tools->RunControl and then click on
Init & Run.<br/>
To get cv results click on Parameters -> Run to get cv data<br/>
To get EPSPs for each synapse or Hair Cell activation click on Parameters -> Plot syn EPSPs (or Plot HC EPSPs)<br/>

<p>main-i6s-tnew.hoc <br/>
-- One hair cell to one afferent connectivity, synaptic conductance
</p><p>   constant or scaled by bouton diameter.  Runs produce data points
   for Figs 6A, 7A, 7C, 8

</p><p>main-i6s-hc.hoc  <br/>
--One hair cell to one or more afferents connectivity, synaptic

</p><p>main-i6sBKSK-hc.hoc  <br/>
--Same as main-i6s-hc.hoc except BK and SK conductances added.  Runs
  produce traces in Fig 4 and data points for Figs. 6C and 8
