Re: Time Derivative

I want to use dx/dt into a breakpoint of a mod file. (SUFFIX and i_m is a NONSPECIFIC Current)

BREAKPOINT {
i_m=b*(dx/dt)
}

Thank you very much!!

Re: Time Derivative

I have a function x(t)=a*exp(w*t)*sinh(w*t) and I want neuron to calculate dx/dt either in hoc or mod file.
The reverse thing that DERIVATIVE block in a mod file does.

Is this more clear?

Time Derivative

Dear all, I am using this part in a hoc file in order to calculate the stim_amp(see code). However, the equation used for stim_amp is the derivative calculated by hand which creates inaccuracy in my results. I want to replace this part and make neuron calculate the derivative given the equation. By ...

Re: Whole Cell Stimulation

Dear Ted, Thank you for your answer. How can I then define the amplitude, duration and delay of the pulse? And for example if I type: access dend1 objref stimlist stimlist = new List() forall for (x,0) stimlist.append(new IClamp(x)) will that mean that every segment of dendrite1 will be stimulated? ...

Re: Time dependent conductance in DERIVATIVE block

Ga1 changes with time and one equation of t characterizes it when ton<t< toff and a different one when t>toff What happens when t<ton? When t<ton Ga2=0 and it changes for the first time when t>ton. Ok, I think I understood everything you have said so far and thank you again very much! However I sti...

Re: Time dependent conductance in DERIVATIVE block

Dear Ted, Thank you so much! I figure it out how it works and what my problem is!! My process is a POINT PROCESS so I can put the NET_RECEIVE command. The problem actually is that my variable Ga1 changes with time and one equation of t characterizes it when ton<t< toff and a different one when t>tof...

Re: Time dependent conductance in DERIVATIVE block

Dear Ted, Thank you very much for your reply!! But how should I call it from hoc level? I have something like: objref nc soma nc = new NetCon(&v(0.5),target,5,0,0) where the target is the mod file with the NET_RECEIVE command. I get the following error: {run()} ^ finitialize(-65) init() stdinit(...

Re: Time dependent conductance in DERIVATIVE block

Thank you!! It works like that! If I use FUNCTION t needs to be declared in the ASSIGNED block, but I did it also with PROCEDURE and in this case t cannot be declared in the ASSIGNED block. If you want something that works reliably with adaptive integration, let me know and I'll show you how.[/quote...

Re: Time dependent conductance in DERIVATIVE block

Dear Ted, Thank you for your answer. I just want to change the values of Ga1 and Ga2 as time passes. Like: Ga1= something, when ton<t<toff Ga1=something else, when t>toff My question is if I can have time as a threshold to change values? Because most examples I have seen use voltage or temperature. ...

Time dependent conductance in DERIVATIVE block

Hi! I am new in NEURON and want to add a channel in a hh model. My problem is that in the equations in the DERIVATIVE block the variable change depending on time. how can I define different values to those variables as time course passes? Something like: if (t < thres) { Ga2=r2*(1-exp(-t/tau)) } els...
