This is an operational version of a Regular Spiking [RS] Neuron. You may download the neuron to your Windows computer and experiment with the simulation of this single neuron. Download this neruon here (32 or 64 bit Windows)

To Use

  1. Start the neuron and slide the input current to around 56 pico Amps. The neuron should start to fire
  2. Pull in the left and right bars using the slider on the bottom. Notice that the neuron only fires when current is applied shown by the red line.
  3. Find the minimum pulse width that will cause the neuron to fire. Should be about 200 mSeconds
  4. Find the minimum current. Should be about 58 pA
  5. Notice the recovery period (about 200 mSec
  6. Notice the maximum depolarization to 25 mV or more
  7. Notice the hyper polarization down to -60 mV
  8. Open the Status slide out and use the mouse
