Simple, fast and accurate implementation of the diffusion approximation algorithm for stochastic ion channels with multiple states.

BACKGROUND: The phenomena that emerge from the interaction of the stochastic opening and closing of ion channels (channel noise) with the non-linear neural dynamics are essential to our understanding of the operation of the nervous system. The effects that channel noise can have on neural dynamics a...
