ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY STIMULI STRATEGY AND DETAILS

Different sets of stimulation waveforms were used in order to:

1. Interrogate intrinsic membrane mechanisms that underlie the input/output function of neurons
   1. Linear and non-linear subthreshold properties
   2. Action potential initiation and propagation
   3. Afterhyperpolarization/afterdepolarization
2. Understand aspects of neural response properties in vivo
   1. Stimulation frequency dependence (theta vs. gamma) of spike initiation mechanisms
   2. Ion channel states due to different resting potentials in vivo
3. Construct and test computational models of varying complexity emulating the neural response to stereotyped stimuli
   1. Generalized leaky-integrate-and-fire (GLIF) models
   2. Biophysically and morphologically realistic conductance-based compartmental models
