Qui comprendiamo:

  • SOMA: il soma
  • VGSC-SOMA-H: Na ion channels. Open only when VDB high
  • VGSC-SOMA-M: Na ion channels. Open only when VDB medium
  • VGSC-SOMA-L: Na ion channels. Open only when VDB low

Simplified verifiable behaviors:

— ms:

  • Resting at -70 mV: Leak channels + pumps (keep at resting)
  • VDB Depolarization : ~1-2 ms: Na⁺ enters (some VGSCs open)
  • Opened VGSC and then remain closed for a refractory period
  • Spike if depolarized above threshold: to -50 mV
  • Ca2+ enter
  • Repolarization to -70 mV: ~1-2 ms: K⁺ exits (VG K⁺ channels open) ← NOT pumps!
  • After-hyperpolarization: ~5-20 ms: K⁺ channels still open

— secs:

  • Return to exact -70 mV: ~100-1000 ms: Na⁺/K⁺ pumps restore gradients
  • Ca2+ accumulation

— mins:

  • VGSC modulation

G expression:

— ms:

  • based on VDB, VGSC open and let Na+ in. VGSG then go into refractory

  • if Na fullness then ApCtx. Here the threshold is based only on the integration of Na+

  • increase SpikeTrainTraces (fast at spike)

  • increase Ca2+ traces

  • decrease Na: fast pump which decreases Na+, we do not model K+ -- there is a tug of war between Na entering and exiting. Na can reach fullness only if VDB increases fast (derivative)

  • there are 2 context: ApCtx and SomaRefractory imlemented with timers and tunable

  • decrease SpikeTraintraces slow, only if away from spiketrain this is empty

  • Tune: -- The threshold is tuned during the spiketrain. Low threshold at rest, to increase sensitivity, threshold increase during spike to increase discrimination

— secs:

  • SpikeTrainTraces

— mins:

  • Tune: -- refractory lenght

Tubs:

  • VDB: dendrites deliver current

  • Na: are a proxy for the Coulombs of charge building up on the somatic membrane. They are used to check threshold, but also to mimic Na+ and K+ pumping

  • Ca2+: Medium term traces to guide tuning and Night development. It is a local trace, ATP is a global (Astrocyte)

  • SpikeTrainTraces: sono le tracce che consentono al neurone di far partire il Tuning neuronale, quando e' lontano da uno spike-train, ovvero e' in riposo.

  • SomaRefractory: tracce di refractory

SOMA-Status: ( active: 60x ) contextor

As dendrites deliver current (VDB), the soma acts like a capacitor. It "stores" this charge in the form of membrane potential. This contextualizes VGSC-SOMA to open ion channels that let Na+ ions in.

This only applies if not ApCtx, or in other words, SOMA is not in refractory period.

SomaSpike: ( active: 30x ) contextor

Il fatto che mettiamo il check di AP separato dal check del Soma-Status, e' perche' vogliamo poter avere un RF specifico per AP, eventualmente tunabile.

Qui siamo nella fase effettiva di spike, non refractory che viene dopo. Fa da contesto di durata fra un RF ed un altro.

La fullness di Na rappresenta il threshold e puo' essere modificato. La fullness di SomaRefractory rappresenta la lunghezza del refractory.

ActiveAP: ( active: 8x ) accumulator

Durante la fase effettiva di spike:

  • eliminiamo Na accumulati. Qui ad un RF molto maggiore che con NaSpill. In teoria qui dovremmo eliminare tutti gli Na e NaSpill potrebbe non servire.
  • riempiamo SomaRefractory per fase di refractory
  • riempiamo Ca2+ per le tracce medio termine di potenziamento/depotenziamento.
