Ionic model example in Matlab
Description
- This example will guide you through running a simple ionic model (Beeler-Reuter) in Matlab
Run the model
- Start the Matlab application
- Download the following Matlab files into a single separate folder
All four files as a zip package: (rebeelerreuter.zip)
Each file separately: (BR_2.m), (BR_deriv_std.m), (BR_deriv_vts.m), (RK4.m)
- File→Set Path...→Add Folder...
- Navigate to the folder created in the last step, and add that path
In the Matlab command window, type BR_2 (elapsed time will be printed when it is finished running)
- Create plots by typing in the following commands
plot(t,Vm): plots the transmembrane potential
plot(t,Ca_i): plots the intracellular Ca2+
plot(t,i_Na): plots the Na+ current
plot(t,i_Ca): plots the Ca2+ current
plot(t,i_K1): plots the K+ current
plot(t,i_x1): plotd another K+ current
