This week on Journal Club session Ohki Katakura's will talk about neuronal modelling of cerebellar Purkinje cell while referencing various papers.
Cerebellar Purkinje cell is the hugest and the most complicated neuron in the cerebellum. As well as cerebellar cortex network, some researchers think that the cell has rich computational capacity because of its complexity. Based on experimental studies, it was realistically modelled in 1994 (De Schutter & Bower, 1994ab), and then the model has been recently updated (Masoli et al., 2015; Zang et al., 2018). In this session, I will introduce details of the models (i.e., morphology and embedded ion channels) and the differences between all three of them.
