Calculating LFP from multicompartment neuron
Posted: Fri Jul 06, 2012 4:17 pm
Hello,
Could anyone give a hint how to efficiently calculate LFP of a multicompartment cell? I know the basic theory, the line source model - take all transmembrane currents and sum them with weights inversely proportional to the distance from electrode. How to implement this in NEURON in a neat way?
Specifically,
a) How to sum up all currents in a cable segment in a computationally efficient and esthetically acceptable way? Should I take each channel name, say NaF, and retrieve it's i_NaF at every time step? Or there is a better way to know a lump transmembrane current from different channels in a segment?
b) After I know total current in each segment at each time step, how can I record it during the simulation? Should I add customary proc advance(), as suggested by Ted Carnevale in another post? : http://www.neuron.yale.edu/phpBB/viewto ... ocal+field
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
