DESCRIPTION:

- r-VOR spiking cerebellar model reproducing vestibular human responses when ageing.

The Purkinje cells (PC) are at the core of the r-VOR spiking cerebellar model.  We incorporate a neuron model able to reproduce the three spiking modes of the PC (namely tonic, bursting and pause).The cerebellar microcircuit properties incorporates spike-based synaptic plasticity mechanisms 
at different cerebellar sites (PF-PC and MF-MVN).  The cerebellar CF-PC-MVN sub-circuitry is divided into two symmetric micro-complexes; one for VOR eye-rotatory compensations to the left and one for 
VOR eye-rotatory compensations to the right. The spiking cerebellar model is faced to a 1Hz head rotation movement to be compensated by an eye-movement right in the opposite direction. During 2500 sec, the cerebellar model faced a 1Hz head rotation movement (1sec) 


- This folder contains the source code (EDLUT_PURKINJE_VOR_AGING_IO_2013) and configuration files (DATA_20yo and DATA_100yo) to perform a VOR experiment with "subjects" of different ages: 20 and 100 years old.

REQUIREMENTS:
- LINUX OS.
- GCC

HOW TO COMPILE THE SOURCE CODE
- Open a terminal and navigate to the folder EDLUT_PURKINJE_VOR_AGING_IO_2013.
- Execute the following commands:
	- chmod u+x configure
	- ./configure
	- make
- The executable file will be generated in the "bin" folder.
