(a) The I Na,p +I K -model with parameters as in Fig. 4.1a has a nonmonotonicI-V curve I fast (V ). Addition of the slow K + M-current with parametersas in Sect. 2.3.5 and g M = 5 (dashed curve) makes the asymptotic I-V relation, I ∞ (V ),of the full I Na,p +I K +I K(M) -model monotonic. (b) Addition of a slow inactivation gateto the K + current of the I Na,p +I K -model with parameters as in Fig. 4.1b results in anon-monotonic asymptotic I-V relation of the full I Na,p +I A -model.gate to the persistent K + current, effectively transforming it into transient A-current.If the inactivation kinetics is sufficiently slow, the I Na,p +I A -model retains resonatorproperties on the millisecond time scale, i.e., on the time scale of individual spikes.However, its asymptotic I-V relation, depicted in Fig. 7.45b, becomes non-monotonic.Besides spike-frequency acceleration, the model acquires another interesting property— bistability. A single spike does not inactivate I A significantly. A burst of spikescould inactivate the K + A-current to such a degree that repetitive spiking becomessustained. Slow inactivation of the A-current is believed to facilitate the transitionfrom down- to up-states in neocortical and neostriatal neurons.When a neuronal model consists of conductances operating on drastically differenttime scales, it has multiple I-V relations, one for each time scale. We illustrate thisphenomenon in Fig. 7.46 using the I Na,p +I K +I K(M) -model with activation time constantof 0.01 ms for I Na,p , 1 ms for I K , and 100 ms for I K(M) . The up-stroke of an actionpotential is described only by leak and persistent Na + currents, since the K + currentsdo not have enough time to activate during such a short event. During the up-stroke,the model can be reduced to a one-dimensional system (see Chap. 3) with instantaneousI-V relation I 0 (V ) = I leak + I Na,p (V ) depicted in Fig. 7.46a. The dynamics during andimmediately after the action potential is described by the fast I Na,p +I K -subsystemwith its I-V relation I fast (V ) = I 0 (V ) + I K (V ). Finally, the asymptotic I-V relation,I ∞ (V ) = I fast (V ) + I K(M) (V ), takes into account all currents in the model.The three I-V relations determine the fast, medium, and asymptotic behavior ofa neuron in a voltage-clamp experiment. If the time scales are well separated (theyare in Fig. 7.46), all three I-V relations can be measured from a simple voltage-clamp

The curveI fast (V ) = I 0 (V ) + I K (V ) is the I-V relation of the fast I Na,p +I K -subsystem responsiblefor spike-generating mechanism. The curve I ∞ (V ) = I fast (V ) + I K(M) (V ) is thesteady-state (asymptotic) I-V relation of the full model. Dots denote values obtainedfrom a simulated voltage-clamp experiment in (b); notice the logarithmic time scale.Magnifications of current responses are shown in (c,d,e).

The values of the current, taken at t = 0.05ms, t = 5 ms, and t = 500 ms in Fig. 7.46b, result in the instantaneous, fast, andsteady-state I-V curves, respectively. Notice that the data in Fig. 7.46b are plottedon the logarithmic time scale. Various magnifications using the linear time scale aredepicted in Fig. 7.46c,d, and e. Numerically obtained values of the three I-V relationsare depicted as dots in Fig. 7.46a. They approximate the theoretical values quite wellbecause there is a 100-fold separation of time scales in the model.
