JC I: Darci Taylor

Pinsky, Rinzel
"Intrinsic and Network Rhythmogenesis in a Reduced Traub Model for CA3 Neurons,"
Journal of Computational Neuroscience(1994) vol. 1, 39-60

Copies will be distributed.
Darci's Note: "I would like people to read pages 39, 40, 41, 42, 43- up to the part about synaptic interactions, which won't be relevant for the single cell stuff, then pick back up on the results portion of 45, 46, 47, and 48 - up to the part about response to steady somatic current injection. I will be discussing figure 1A and figure 3."
