The parameter values of neural models are often hard to determine
precisely. Keith Bush is developing ways of optimizing the parameter
values based on multiple recordings.

Keith used GENESIS to model
developmental changes in CA1 and CA3 in rat that might account for
observed characteristics of epileptiform bursting. Keith is working
closely with Dr. Ed Dudek and Li-Rong Shao, in the Department of
Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University.
As part of his thesis work, Keith also has written an introduction to
neural modeling for folks new to this field. The following technical
report also appears as appendices of his thesis.
For his Masters thesis,
Qing Li implemented a model using the NEURON simulation tool, of mossy fiber
sprouting based on the experimental work described in
Electrographic Seizures and New Recurrent Excitatory Circuits in
the Dentate Gyrus of Hippocampal Slices from Kainate-Treated Epileptic
Rats, The Journal of Neuroscience, July 15, 1996,
16(14):4438-4448.
