Abstract

We propose an ionic conductance model that simulates fast rhythmic bursts in a single compartment neuron. In this modeling, the essential point is that Ca 2+-dependent cationic current, whose reversal potential is approximately −45 mV , plays a key role for generating the depolarizing afterpotential (DAP) and the doublet/triplet firing. For the calcium dynamics, the kinetics of the extrusion and the chelation of intracellular free Ca 2+ with Ca 2+-pump and buffering proteins is taken into account. The resulting model quite accurately predicts the experimentally observed natural pattern of the chattering behavior.
