The Pinsky and Rinsel (1994) model.

The Pinsky and Rinsel (1994) model [7] is a 2-compartment (soma and dendrite), conductance-based (Hodgin-Huxley type) model of a hippocampal CA3 pyramidal neuron. It is a reduced version of an earlier, 19-compartment model by Traub, et. al. (1991) [8]. This model demonstrates how similar qualitative and quantitative spiking behaviors can be obtained despite the reduction in model complexity.

Specifically, this model demonstrates calcium bursting behavior and how the ‘ping-pong’ interplay between somatic and dendritic currents results in a complex shape of the burst.

Mathematically, the model is given by:

\[\begin{split} \begin{aligned} &\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{m}} \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}^{\prime}=-\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{Leak}}-\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{Na}}-\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{DR}}}-\frac{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{DS}}}{\mathrm{p}}+\frac{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{app}}}}{\mathrm{p}} \\ &\mathrm{C}_{\mathrm{m}} \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{d}}^{\prime}=-\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{Leak}}-\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{Ca}}-\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{Ca}}}-\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{AHP}}}+\frac{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{SD}}}{(1-\mathrm{p})}+\frac{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{D}_{\mathrm{app}}}}{(1-\mathrm{p})} \\ &\frac{\mathrm{dCa}}{\mathrm{dt}}=-0.13 \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{Ca}}-0.075 \mathrm{Ca} \end{aligned}\end{split}\]

The currents of the model are functions of potentials as follows:

\[\begin{split}\begin{aligned} \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{Na}} &=\mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{Na}} m_{\infty}^{2}\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{s}}\right) h\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{s}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{Na}}\right) \\ \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{DR}}} &=\mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{DR}}} n\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{s}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{K}}\right) \\ \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{Ca}} &=\mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{Ca}}{ }^{2}\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{d}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{N}}\right) \\ \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{Ca}}} &=\mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{Ca}}} C \chi(\mathrm{Ca})\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{d}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{Ca}}\right) \\ \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{AHP}}} &=\mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{AHP}}} q\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{d}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{K}}\right) \\ \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{SD}} &=-\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{DS}}=\mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{c}}\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{d}}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}\right) \\ \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{Leak}} &=\mathrm{g}_{\mathrm{L}}\left(\mathrm{V}-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{L}}\right) \end{aligned}\end{split}\]

The activation and inactivation variables should satisfy these equations

\[\begin{split} \begin{aligned} \omega^{\prime}(\mathrm{V}) &=\frac{\omega_{\infty}(\mathrm{V})-\omega}{\tau_{\omega}(\mathrm{V})} \\ \omega_{\infty}(\mathrm{V}) &=\frac{\alpha_{\omega}(\mathrm{V})}{\alpha_{\omega}(\mathrm{V})+\beta_{\omega}(\mathrm{V})} \\ \tau_{\omega}(\mathrm{V}) &=\frac{1}{\alpha_{\omega}(\mathrm{V})+\beta_{\omega}(\mathrm{V})} \end{aligned}\end{split}\]

where, independently, we consider \(\omega = h, n, s, m, c, q\).

The rate functions are defined as follows

\[\begin{split} \begin{aligned} \alpha_{m}\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{s}}\right) &=\frac{0.32\left(-46.9-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}\right)}{\exp \left(\frac{-46.9-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}}{4}\right)-1} \\ \beta_{m}\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{s}}\right) &=\frac{0.28\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{s}}+19.9\right)}{\exp \left(\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}+19.9}{5}\right)-1}, \\ \alpha_{n}\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{s}}\right) &=\frac{0.016\left(-24.9-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}\right)}{\exp \left(\frac{-24.9-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}}{5}\right)-1} \\ \beta_{n}\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{s}}\right) &=0.25 \exp \left(-1-0.025 \mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{s}}\right) \\ \alpha_{h}\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{s}}\right) &=0.128 \exp \left(\frac{-43-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}}{18}\right) \\ \beta_{h}\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{s}}\right) &=\frac{4}{1+\exp \left(\frac{\left(-20-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}}\right.}{5}\right)}, \\ \alpha_{s}\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{d}}\right) &=\frac{1.6}{1+\exp \left(-0.072\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{d}}-5\right)\right)} \\ \beta_{s}\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{d}}\right) &=\frac{0.02\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{d}}+8.9\right)}{\exp \left(\frac{\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{d}}+8.9\right)}{5}\right)-1}, \\ \alpha_{C}\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{d}}\right) &=\frac{\left(1-H\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{d}}+10\right)\right) \exp \left(\frac{\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{d}}+50\right)}{11}-\frac{\left(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{d}}+53.5\right)}{27}\right)}{18.975}+H\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{d}}+10\right)\left(2 \exp \left(\frac{\left(-53.5-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{d}}\right.}{27}\right)\right) \\ \beta_{C}\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{d}}\right) &=\left(1-H\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{d}}+10\right)\right)\left(2 \exp \left(\frac{\left(-53.5-\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{d}}\right)}{27}\right)-\alpha_{c}\left(\mathrm{~V}_{\mathrm{d}}\right)\right) \\ \alpha_{q}(\mathrm{Ca}) &=\min (0.00002 \mathrm{Ca}, 0.01) \\ \beta_{q}(\mathrm{Ca}) &=0.001 \\ \chi(\mathrm{Ca}) &=\min \left(\frac{\mathrm{Ca}}{250}, 1\right) \end{aligned}\end{split}\]

The standard values of the parameters are given below. The maximal conductances (in \(\mathrm{mS} / \mathrm{cm}^{2}\)) are \(\bar{g}_{L}=0.1\), \(\bar{g}_{\mathrm{Na}}=30\), \(\bar{g}_{\mathrm{K}-\mathrm{DR}}=15\), \(\bar{g}_{\mathrm{Ca}}=10\), \(\bar{g}_{\mathrm{K}-\mathrm{AHP}}=0.8\), \(\bar{g}_{\mathrm{K}-\mathrm{C}}=15\), \(\bar{g}_{\mathrm{NMDA}}=0.0\) and \(\bar{g}_{\mathrm{AMPA}}=0.0\). The reversal potentials (in \(\mathrm{mV}\) ) are \(V_{\mathrm{Na}}=120, V_{\mathrm{C}}=140, V_{\mathrm{K}}=-15 \mathrm{mV})\) are \(V_{\mathrm{Na}}=120, V_{\mathrm{Ca}}=140, V_{\mathrm{K}}=-15, $V_{L}=0\) and \(V_{\text {Syn }}=60\). The applied currents (in \(\mu \mathrm{A} / \mathrm{cm}^{2}\) ) are \(I_{s}=-0.5\) and \(I_{d}=0.0\). The coupling parameters are \(g_{c}=2.1 \mathrm{mS} / \mathrm{cm}^{2}\) and \(p=0.5\). The capacitance, \(C_{M}\), is \(3 \mu \mathrm{F} / \mathrm{cm}^{2}\) and \(\chi(C a)=\min (C a / 250,1)\). Values for these parameters, and these function definitions, are taken from Traub et al, 1991.
