If excitatory conductance increases, how much inhibitory conductance increase is needed to counter it? - this gives information on the percent change needed for the inhibitory conductance changes in the network (the maximums etc…).

Create a calculator that estimates the ratio of connectivity gain between I and E needed to result in more inhibition than excitation. This calculator will need to use the input of connection changes matrix in addition to the conductance data.

Decay types to try:

• exponential: e^(-x/a)
• gaussian: e^(-x^2/a)
• linear: b-ax

Bursts should be limited in the number of spikes per neuron based on biological data.

Requirements:

• Add a parameter of the maximum average number of spikes per neuron per burst
• Add to burst calculator a calculation of the average number of spikes per neuron per burst
• Add to burst plotter the average number of spikes per neuron per burst
• Add to parameter testing code a threshold for the average number of spikes per neuron per burst

Conductance plot function: Create a function to plot the average time-course of conductance changes prior to a spike both across all types of inputs as well as individual (G_syn_E_E, G_syn_E_I, G_syn_I_E, G_syn_I_I).

Description

Add visualization of parameter ranges that result in good parameters according to the "Good Parameters" Definitions

Update theta input rhythm to 3 Hz and test parameters for good burst generation.

If excitatory conductance increases, how much inhibitory conductance increase is needed to counter it? - this gives information on the percent change needed for the inhibitory conductance changes in the network (the maximums etc…).

Threshold function: Create a function that takes in the spike times (raster made from V_m), conductance inputs (parameters.G_in), and excitatory conductance calculations of ir_net_calculator.m (G_syn_E_E, G_syn_E_I) and calculates the threshold of excitatory input conductance to triggering a spike.

Add definitions of good parameters to the parameters structure:

• Set boundaries for average burst length
• Set boundary for minimum inter-burst interval
• Set boundary for minimum number of neurons in a burst

Perform parameter tests with just a pink noise input to see if it's a viable input for generating bursts.
