Abstract

Calcium (Ca2+) is a second messenger assumed to control changes in synaptic strength in the form of both long-term depression (LTD) and long-term potentiation (LTP) at Purkinje cell dendritic spine synapses via inositol trisphosphate (IP3) induced Ca2+ release. These Ca2+ transients happen in response to stimuli from parallel fibers (PF) from granule cells and climbing fibers (CF) from the inferior olivary nucleus. These events occur at low numbers of free Ca2+ requiring stochastic single particle methods when modeling them.
