Hi,



Thanks a lot for your replies.



Regarding your first question, please note that I took the matlab code from
Izhikevich's book, chapter 8 so that I kept the time variable as is.



The simulated model has reduced many Hodgkin-Huxely-type neuronal models to a
two-dimensional system of ordinary differential equations and can reproduces behavior
of different types of neurons using different values of the parameters ( a, b,
c, d, C .. ).



Finally, I have hyperpolarized the cell using the following code but the model
still generates the results for the tonic firing pattern:

.

.

for i=1:n-1 % forward Euler method

if (i<100) 

   I(i)=-100;    

end; 

.

.


Best Regards,
Kamal.
