RetinalChaos

A system of dynamical equations simulating the phenomena of retinal waves

Julia code for a system of differential equations used for simulating cholinergic retinal waves

To install:

1. Install the most up to date Julia: https://julialang.org/

2. Run Julia

3. Press "]" and create and activate a new environment:

generate Modelling

activate Modelling

4. Install the package

add https://github.com/mattar13/RetinalChaos.git

5. Hit backspace to return to Julia REPL mode

To use

1. Run a ODE: (This is also located in examples/running_model_ODE.jl)

using RetinalChaos
using Plots

#Step 1: Import the model parameters:
import RetinalChaos.ODEModel # the ODEModel
import RetinalChaos.u0 #the initial condutions 
import RetinalChaos.parameters #the parameters

parameters[I_app] = 10.0 #Set the applied current to 100pA
#Step 2: determine the timespan
tmin = 0.0
tmax = 300e3

#Step 3: set up the problem
prob = ODEProblem(ODEModel, u0, (tmin, tmax), parameters)

#Step 4: Solve the problem
@time sol = solve(prob);

#Once you have the solution you can do anything like plotting or other math
plot(sol, idxs=[v, c, b], layout=(4, 1), lw=2.0, c=:red)
