spontaneous activity patterns

This folder contains trains of voltage maxima and minima during spontaneous steady state activity for each model neuron. These trains provide salient features of the spontaneous activity patterns of the neurons without taking up the prohibitive amount of memory that would be required if a complete voltage trace were saved for every neuron.
The maxima and minima list for a spiking neuron contains 3 spike periods of maxima and minima. The list for a regular burster has 3 burst periods of maxima and minima. The list for an irregular burster contains all maxima and minima that were simulated for that neuron, but no more than 1,000 average burst periods. The list for an irregular neuron contains all maxima and minima that were simulated, but no more than 1,000 average inter-maximum-intervals. No lists are saved for silent neurons.

The maxima and minima lists are in order of increasing model number and are organized in files with up to 5,000 lists per file. The files are named ***to###_minmax.dat, where *** and ### give the range of model neuron numbers whose lists are in the file.

The minmax files were zipped in groups of 20 files. The zip files are named ***to###_minmax.zip, where *** and ### give the range of model neuron numbers whose lists are in the zip file.
In the minmax files, each list of minima and maxima is preceded by the corresponding model neuron number in a separate line. The list itself has 4 columns, namely:

1) Time of voltage maximum or minimum in s.
2) Voltage at peak or trough in V.
3) Integer number indicating whether the extremum is a maximum or minimum. 0 stands for a minimum, 1 for a maximum.
4) Value of the integer measure T at the time of the maximum or minimum (see Prinz et al., 2003 for explanation).

Consecutive lists are separated by an empty line. Altogether, the folder contains 336 minmax files compressed in 17 zip files.
